Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five eighths of the votes were for blue, five ninths of the remaining votes were for green, and the remaining 48 votes were for red. How many votes were for blue? How many votes for green?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

You get in an elevator and ride down 5 floors. You realize you forgot something, so you stay on the elevator and ride back up 5 floors. Which expression represents the number of floors you are from your original position?

Answers

Answer:

y = x - 5 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the the original position and y be the new position.

After rid down, 5 floors, the expression would be y = x - 5.

After rid back up 5 floors, the expression changed to y = x - 5 + 5.

Hence, the required expression is y = x - 5 + 5 = x.

The expression is ' 0 ', as in 'zero'. If it were anything else, then that wouldn't help you go back to where you started and get what you forgot.

I am very weak in this help me please. There are 1800 gym members in total.3/4 are aged 25 to59 years, 1/5 are over 60 years and remainder are under 25 years. How many members are under 25 years?

Answers

Steps to solve:

1. 3/4+1/5
Change both denominator to the same- 4*5=20
So far its: ?/20 + ?/20

2. For the first fraction (3/4) we do 3*5=15
Because when we found the denominators we multiplied each denominator by each other. For the second one we do pretty much the same. We do 1*4=4.

3. The final equation is 15/20 + 4/20.
Now add both numerators, which is 19. You leave the denominator as it is. So the final fraction is 19/20.

4. Next to get a full fraction from 19/20 you need 1/20 to get 20/20=1.
On the calculator you type in: 1/20*1800
OR... 1800/20
OR... (18/2)100

So the final answer is 90. 1800/20=90
= 90 members under the age of 25.

To solve this, we add , 3/4 + 1/5

To add fractions we different denominators we have to find a common multiple.. 4 * 5 = 20 and 5 * 4 = 20

We multiply everything by 5 (for 3/4), to get 15/20
We multiply everything by 4 (for 1/5), to get 4/20

= 15/20 + 4/20 (add the numerators)
= 19/20

If 19/20 people are 25 to 60+,
that means 1/20 of people are under 25

We apply this to 1800 gym members:

1800 / 20 <- get's us 1/20 of 1800
= 90

There are 90 members under 25
