Eurostar is a high-speed railway service connecting London with Paris and Brussels,
In February, 350,000 passengers travelled by Eurostar,
Each train has 15 carriages and each carriage has 32 seats,
How many trains would be needed
to seat 350,000 passengers?
If all the empty seats are on
the last train, find:
the number of empty carriages
you could make;
the number of empty seats across
all the other carriages,

730 trains are adequate to carry 350000 passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives us for the number of passengers, the number of seats per carriage and the number of carriages per train.  To change the units from passengers to trains without changing the value, we use the multiplicative identity (that is, 1).

350000 passengers

(350000 passengers) * 1

(350000 passengers) * ((1 carriage)/(32 passengers)) * ((1 train)/(15 carriages)

   [note:  passengers and carriages cancel. Leaving only trains]

(350000)*(1/32)*(1/15) trains       [note: I write this way to paste into MS Excel]

729.1667  trains                 [oh, but don’t just round this number either up or down]

   729 full trains can carry 729*32*15 = 349920 passengers

   730 full trains can carry 730*32*15 = 350400 passengers

Now, we can say that 730 trains are adequate to carry 350000 passengers.

sas (side angle side)

aa(angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas you have to find two sides with an angle in between

aa you find two angles because it will always add up to 180

sss find all sides
