Read the excerpt from an interview with Florence Griffith-Joyner.


WILL: I know that you dropped out of college in 1979 to help support your family. It seems like family must be very important to you.


FLORENCE GRIFFITH-JOYNER: Yes. Family is first in my life. It was a very difficult decision for me to drop out of college at that time. Growing up in poverty, I didn't have the financial support that I would have needed to go to college. I wasn't offered an athletic scholarship. I wasn't offered an academic scholarship. I thought, "How am I going to stay in school?" So I enrolled in school, and I thought, "I really want to run, but I know I have to concentrate on my academics as well." I tried a year of college, and I thought, "I can't continue because I have no financial support." I had to take the bus two hours to school, two hours back. The need was greater than what I could afford.


What is the purpose of the interviewer’s question?

A. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's training techniques
B. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's family recipes
C. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's commitment to family
D. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's favorite coach

Gina visited the aquarium with some of her cousins, aunts, and uncles. The group bought 20 admission tickets for $340. Adult tickets cost $20, and children’s tickets cost $15. How many adult tickets and how many children tickets did the group buy?

Write a system of equations.

Answers

Answer:

Look at the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 children tickets did the group buy.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The group bought 20 admission tickets for $340.

And, Adult tickets cost $20, and children’s tickets cost $15.

Let number of children = x

And, Number of adult = y

Hence, We get;

The system of equations are,

x + y = 20  

y = 20 - x .. (i)

And, 15x + 20y = 340

3x + 4y = 68 .. (ii)

Substitute the value of y from (i) in (ii);

3x + 4(20 - x) = 68

3x + 80 - 4x = 68

80 - 68 = x

x = 12

Thus, There are 12 children tickets did the group buy.

Need help, What is the volume? and can you explain how you got the answer :)

Answers

Answer/Explanation:

To find out the volume of this Rectangular Prism you have to multiply by length * width * height.

So what's [tex]3\frac{3}{8} *2?[/tex] It's [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex], and since there are [tex]2[/tex] sides of the same length * width * height, so [tex]\frac{27}{4} *2=\frac{27}{2}[/tex].

So now the upper and bottom face of the Rectangular Prism are figured out.

Now we have to do [tex]2*2[/tex], so what's [tex]2*2?[/tex] It's [tex]4[/tex]. Now like before there are [tex]2[/tex] sides of the same length * width * height, so we do [tex]4*2[/tex], and what's [tex]4*2?[/tex] It's [tex]8[/tex], now we add them together which is [tex]\frac{27}{2} +8=\frac{43}{2}[/tex], or we can say the answer is [tex]21.5[/tex] in decimal form.

So the Volume = [tex]21.5[/tex] or [tex]\frac{43}{2}[/tex]

Wait it's actually [tex]\frac{27}{4} *4[/tex] which is [tex]27[/tex], so then we actually do [tex]27+8[/tex], which is [tex]35[/tex].

SO IT'S ACTUALLY 35
The answer is 35. Hope this helps:)
