The ratio of cyclists to pedestrians on a certain trail was 2 to 7. If there were 27 people on the trail, how many more pedestrians were there than cyclists?​

15 more pedestrians than cyclists

Step-by-step explanation:

2:7 ratio tells us two cyclists for every seven pedestrians so out of every 9 people 2 are cyclists and 7 are pedestrians.

27/9=3

So we have 3 groups of 9...

3×2=6

&

3×7=21

so

6 cyclists and 21 pedestrians

subtract cyclists from pedestrians to find difference...

21-6=15

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

-3.5 is the distance.

i've had this question so choose the one in the absolute value sign.
