Answer:
Van can carry 15 and bus 51 students
Explanation:
Let's mark the number of vans with x and number of buses with y.
That allows us to write equations:
1) 11x + 9y = 624 (high school A)
2) 5x + y = 126 (high school B)
This means that we have a system of the equations with two unknowns.
We can use x or y to solve this. Let's use x, but first we need to express y through x. We said that:
5x + y = 126
That means that:
y = 126 - 5x
Now, let's plug this in the equation 1):
11x + 9(126 -5x) = 624
11x + 1134 - 45x = 624
-34x = -510
34x = 510
x = 15
So, if x is 15, let's plug it in any of the two equations:
5x + y = 126
75 + y = 126
y = 51
So, a van carry 15 and a bus 51 students.
I believe the answer is A because it states its air craft carriers were still afloat and the shipyards, fuel storage etc. was only slightly damaged so the Japanese were unsuccessful
I would say that punctuation, ie a comma , would precede the block quotation to set it apart and then quotation marks would be used to show that it is a quotation, both at the beginning and end of the passage. Quotations are good to show exactly what the author quoted meant so there is no doubt and which can then be accurately commented on.
