Given the choice between doing an oral and a written report, 18 of the 28 students chose to do a written report. Find the ratio of written to oral reports.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

answer: 1+1

step-by-step explanation: 1+1 is at least 2

46

step-by-step explanation:

given

height = 168 cm

formula

height =2.47*f+54.13

solution

168 = 2.47f + 54.13             subtract 54.13 from both sides

168 - 54.13   = 2.47f             combine

113.87 = 2.47f                     divide by 2.47

113.87 / 2.47 = f                   combine

46.1 = f  

answer: 46 cm

the solution, from the graphing of the two lines, is (3,2), i.e., x = 3, y = 2.
