There are 60 people in a choir half of the people in the choir are women
the number of women in the choir is 3 times the number of men in the choir
the rest of the people in the choir are children
the number of children in the choir :the number of men in the choir =n:1
work out the value of n

The value of n is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people in the choir = 60

Number of  women in the choir = 30

Let the number of men in the choir be represented by x, so that;

Number of women = 3x

So that;

3x = 30

x =

 = 10

The number of men in the choir is 10.

the number of children in the choir: the number of men in the choir = n:1

number of children in the choir = 60 - (number of women + number of men)

                                                    = 60 - 40

                                                    = 20

number of children in the choir = 20

Thus,

the number of children in the choir: the number of men in the choir = 20:10

                                                            = 2:1

The value of n is 2.

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
