at the beginning of grade 6 the number of advanced math to the number of regluar math students was 3:8 however after taking placement tests students were moved around chaning the ratio of the number of advanced math students to the number of regluar math students was 4:7 how many student students started in reglaur math and advanced math if there were 92 students in advanced math after the placement test. Please tell me how to do this on a tape diagram

There were 69 students in advanced math and 184 students in regular math before the placement tests

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question

At the beginning of 6th grade, the ratio of the number of advanced math students to the number of regular math  students was 3:8. However, after taking placement tests, students were moved around changing the ratio of the  number of advanced math students to the number of regular math students to 4:7. How many students started in  regular math and advanced math if there were 92 students in advanced math after the placement tests?

Let

x > the number of advanced math students

y > the number of regular math students

we know that

At the beginning of grade 6

> equation A

After taking placement tests

> equation B

> equation C

Remember that

The total number of students at the beginning of grade 6 is the same that the number of students after taking placement tests

step 1

Find out the total number of students  after taking placement tests

we have

> equation B

> equation C

substitute the value of x in equation B and solve for y

The total number of students  after taking placement tests is

step 2

Find out how many students started in  regular math and advanced math

we have that

At the beginning of grade 6

> equation A

> equation  D

Solve the system of equations by graphing

The solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (69,184)

see the attached figure

therefore

There were 69 students in advanced math and 184 students in regular math before the placement tests

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
