Response: 7

Detailed explanation:

A Venn diagram can help visualize this problem.

There are a total of 5 students interested in both French and Latin.

Out of these, 3 students also want to learn Spanish, meaning only 2 students want solely French and Latin.

Moreover, there are 5 students who wish to study only Latin.

This results in 1 student wanting both Latin and Spanish, calculated by 11 - 5 - 3 - 2.

There are 8 students who desire only Spanish, and 4 students who want both Spanish and French.

In the same manner, those wishing to study only French amount to 16 - 4 - 3 - 2 = 7.

Sarah buys a new bike. The total cost of the bike including taxes is $349. She pays $100 down and then agrees to pay the balance
AnnZ [12381]

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given,

Total cost of the bike including taxes = $349

Initial payment = $100

Remaining balance = Total cost of bike - Initial payment

Remaining balance = 349 - 100

Remaining balance = $249

She opts to pay in six equal installments, so we divide the total remaining by 6.

Monthly payment = \frac{Amount\ left\ to\ pay}{No.\ of\ months}

Monthly payment = \frac{249}{6} = \$41.50

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

1 kilogram is equivalent to about 2.2 pounds. An orangutan weighs 142 pounds. What is its mass in kilograms? Round your answer t
AnnZ [12381]

The weight of an orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Solution:

It is stated that the orangutan's weight is 142 pounds

Additionally,

1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds

We will now convert 142 pounds into kilograms

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

\text{1 pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \text{ kilograms }

As a result, 142 pounds translates to

142 \text{ pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 \text{ kilogrmas }

\rightarrow \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 = 64.545 \text{ kilograms }

When rounding to the nearest tenth, we obtain 64.5 kilograms

Therefore the mass of the orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

A mirror is made of two congruent parallelograms as shown in the diagram. The parallelograms have a combined area of 9 1/3 squar
AnnZ [12381]
Given:
Two identical parallelograms total area = 9 1/3 yd²
Each parallelogram has height 1 1/3 yd

Area formula: area = base × height

Split the total area equally to find each parallelogram's area.

Convert 9 1/3: (9*3)+1 = 28/3

Divide by 2: 28/3 × 1/2 = 28/6 yd², which is 4 4/6 yd² → 4 2/3 yd²

So each parallelogram's area is 4 2/3 yd²

Set up base × 1 1/3 yd = 4 2/3 yd²

Convert and divide: 14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base

Multiply: 14/3 × 3/4 = base
Compute: 14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
Which simplifies to 3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base

a) Each parallelogram has a base of 3 1/2 yards
b) If the two parallelograms form a rectangle:
Rectangle area = length × width

Length = 3 1/2 yd × 2 = 7 yds
Width = 3 1/2 yds

Area = 7 yd × 3 1/2 yd
Area = 7 × 7/2 yd²
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²
