At a concert 5/9 of the people in line are girls. 2/3 are wearing glasses, what fraction of the people are wearing glasses?

1 answer:

7 0

The girl bit doesn't really matter except for how it says 5/9 which shows that you should factor it by 3's. If you multiply both the 2 and the 3 in 2/3 you would clearly get 6/9. Which is the same thing but is to get it matching with how the question wrote about the people wearing glasses.

Answer: 6/9 people

You enter a relay race. To start, you must run 20 yards to Checkpoint A. You then must turn and run 12 yards to Checkpoint B. La

Anarel [89]

Distance to checkpoint A from starting line = 20 yards.

Then from A to B distance = 12 yards.

Let us take starting point C.

So, it would make a right triangle.

We have AB = 12, AC = 20, we need to find BC, that is Hypotenuse of the right triangle.

According to Pythagoras theorem:

$BC^2 = AB^2+AC^2$

$BC^2 = 12^2+20^2$

$BC^2 = 144 +400 = 544$

$BC= \sqrt{544}$

BC = 23.32.

<h3>Therefore, 23.32 yards is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line.</h3>

2.5 pounds of apples * $1.20 = $3

He spent total $4.50

So he had to have spent 1.50 on oranges.

So $1.50=$1.20 x where x will be the pound of oranges bought.

1.50/1.20 = 1.25 or 1 1/4 pounds of oranges.
