You're at a halloween fair with a big ferris wheel. the wheel has ten chairs and people are seated two per chair. every minute a chair passes the exit platorm. the wheel opens at 11 am for thirty minutes -- how many people took a ride in that time?

The number of persons who have taken the ride is 60.

According to the question, a halloween fair with a big ferris wheel. The wheel has 10 chairs and people are seated .

Also, every minute a chair passes the exit platform and the wheel opens at 11 am for thirty minutes so, the rate at which the chair passes the exit platform is .

Now, number of persons who have taken the ride is calculated as-

Hence, the number of persons who have taken the ride is 60.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
