So first we want to say, 8 out of the 40 flowers were perennials.
8 out of 40 is 8/40, or simplified down to 1/5.
1/5 in percentage form is 20% because 1 divided by 5 = 20%.
Answer:
<em> 4 pairs of earrings </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
3.75 e + 9.50 < 25
3.75 e < 25 - 9.50 = 15.50
e < 15.50 ÷ 3.75 ≈ 4.13
e =<em> 4 pairs of earrings</em>
Substitution
y = 2x - 12
y = -x + 3
-x + 3 = 2x - 12
+ x + x
-----------------------------
3 = 3x - 12
+ 12 + 12
-----------------------
15 = 3x
------ ------
3 3
x = 5
y = 2(5) - 12
y = 10 - 12
y = -2
The final answer is (5,-2).
Answer:
36 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
3
Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as --------
5
Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.
How many are in the club altogether? Let this count be represented by c. Then (5/8)c = 60.
Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:
c = (8/5)(60) = 96. Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.
3/8 of this number are boys. This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.
We could also solve this problem in the following manner:
3 b
------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.
5 60
Then 5b = 180. Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys
Answer:
MC = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ ABH and Δ MCH are similar and the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
6MC = 270 ( divide both sides by 6 )
MC = 45
