question:Five coaster vans are used to transport students for their field trip. Each van carries 28 students, 60 of which are boys. How many are girls? Let's answer step by step:
answer:Step 1: Determine the total number of students. First, we need to find the total number of students being transported by the five coaster vans. Since each van carries 28 students, we can multiply the number of vans by the number of students each can carry. 5 vans * 28 students/van = 140 students Step 2: Calculate the number of girls. Now that we know there are 140 students in total and 60 of them are boys, we can calculate the number of girls by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of students. 140 students - 60 boys = 80 girls So, there are 80 girls on the field trip.
question:Solve 12 + 10 = 11*s for s.
answer:To solve the equation 12 + 10 = 11*s for s, we will follow the steps below. Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation. Combine the constants on the left side, which gives you: 22 = 11*s Step 2: Solve for s by isolating the variable. To isolate s, we should divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient before s, which in this case is the number 11: 22 = 11 * s 22 / 11 = (11 * s) / 11 This simplification leads to: 2 = s So, the value of s in the given equation is 2. To double-check our result, we can plug the value of s back into the original equation: 12 + 10 = 11 * 2 22 = 22 Since the equation holds true with s = 2, our solution is correct. The solution to the equation 12 + 10 = 11*s is s = 2.
question:In December 1978, Gaddafi stepped down as Secretary-General of the GPC, announcing his new focus on revolutionary rather than governmental activities; this was part of his new emphasis on separating the apparatus of the revolution from the government. Although no longer in a formal governmental post, he adopted the title of "Leader of the Revolution" and continued as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He continued exerting considerable influence over Libya, with many critics insisting that the structure of Libya's direct democracy gave him "the freedom to manipulate outcomes". After Gaddafi stepped down from the GPC, what title did he take?
answer:After Gaddafi stepped down from the GPC in December 1978, he adopted the title of "Leader of the Revolution" and continued as commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
