There are 2 variables in this problem. One variable is the class number and other variable is the participation in extracurricular activities. Each variable has further two categories. There are two classes: Class 10 and 11. And students either participate or do not participate in extracurricular activities, which makes 2 categories.
The best approach to solve this question is to build a table and start entering the given information in it. When the given data has been entered fill the rest on basis of the data you have.
18 students from grade 11 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means the rest students i.e. 22 students from grade 11 do not participate in Extracurricular activities.
32 students from grade 10 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means total students who participate in at least one Extracurricular activities are 18 + 32 = 50 students.
The rest 50 students do not participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. From these 22 are from class 11. So the rest i.e. 28 are from class 10.
55 minus 18 is 37 and then it would be 37,000 and then you just convert it so it is 37% of 100 (the answer is 37%)
There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.
Right now, we have the fraction (4 miles) / (2 hours).
We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of (miles/minute) or maybe (feet/minute).
Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.
Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction. But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.
(4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ... 1 hour is the same thing as 60 minutes.
Multiply the fractions: (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)
Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have
(4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)
= (4 miles) / (120 minutes)
= (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .
Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer.
(4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)
The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom.
Multiply all three fractions:
(4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)
You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:
(4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)
= (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60) feet / minutes
= (21,120 / 120) feet/minute = 176 feet per minute
Answer:
8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.
Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:
p = 2l + 2w
60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
8 = w
So, the width is 8 inches
