The ratio of boys to girls is 7:5. The ratio of boys with glasses to boys without glasses is 1:6. The ratio of girls with glasses to girls without glasses is 1:3. What fraction of students wear glasses?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys with glasses are 1/(1+6) = 1/7 of boys. Boys are 7/(7+5) = 7/12 of the group.

Girls with glasses are 1/(1+3) = 1/4 of girls. Girls are 5/(7+5) = 5/12 of the group.

The fraction of the group that wears glasses is ...

  (1/7)(7/12) +(1/4)(5/12) = 1/12 +5/48 = 9/48 = 3/16

3/16 of the students wear glasses.

_____

Additional comment

It appears we can choose a multiple of 48 students to work out the detailed numbers. For 48 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 28 : 20. The ratio of boys with glasses to those without is 4 : 24, and the similar ratio for girls is 5 : 15. In our group of 48 students, 4 boys and 5 girls = 9 students wear glasses. The fraction is 9/48 = 3/16 as shown above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule explains what happens to the input value in order to obtain the output.

input = 4 , then divide by 4

4 ÷ 4 = 1 , then add 2

1 + 2 = 3

---------------------------------------

input = 6 , divide by 4

6 ÷ 4 = 1,5 . now add 2

1.5 + 2 = 3.5

-----------------------------------------

input = 8 , divide by 4

8 ÷ 4 = 2 , now add 2

2 + 2 = 4

-------------------------------------------

input = 10 , divide by 4

10 ÷ 4 = 2.5 , now add 2

2.5 + 2 = 4.5

--------------------------------------------

input  |  0 | 2 |   4 |  6 |  8 | 10

Third answer:4

Last one :4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So Baisicly,

First answer : We Devide 4 by 4 so its equal to 1 and then we add 2 then its equal to 3.

Secound answer: We divide 6 by 4 so it becomes 1.5 and then add 2 so itll become 3.5.

Thid answer: We divide 4 by 8 and so it becomes equal to 2 and then we add 2 so its 4.

Last one: We divide 4 by 10 and so it becomes 2.5 and then we add 2 so itll become 4.5.

A submersible is a type of underwater vessel. Suppose a submersible starts at a depth of 40 feet below sea level, represented by –40 feet. The table shows the submersible's change in depth from one minute to the next. Time and Depth of Submersible
2:15 p. m. 2:16 p. m. 2:17 p. m. 2:18 p. m.
–40 feet 180 feet lower 175 feet lower 185 feet lower
Answer the questions to find the depth of the submersible after 3 minutes.

1. Write and evaluate a subtraction expression to find the depth of the submersible at 2:16 p. m.

Write your answer in the space below.

2. Write and evaluate a subtraction expression to find the depth of the submersible at 2:17 p. m.

Write your answer in the space below.

3. Write and evaluate a subtraction expression to find the depth of the submersible at 2:18 p. m.

Write your answer in the space below.

4. If the submersible dove straight down, what is the distance between the submersible's starting position at 2:15 and its position at 2:18? Show your work.

Write your answer in the space below.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -40 - 180 = -220

2. - 40 - 180 - 175 = -395

3. -395 - 185 = -580

4. starting position of submersible at 2:15 = -40

position at 2:18 = -580

therefore, their distance = -580 -(-40) = -540.

The chief engineer is in charge of deciding the mountainous road-network that will be kept open (cleared of debris and maintained regularly) during the winter months. Each road connects different small towns in the mountains, and all towns are connected to each other either directly or indirectly. Each road is associated with a value indicating the level of danger in maintaining that road during winter months. There are many subsets of roads such that the roads in such subsets keep the towns connected directly or indirectly. Each subset is assigned a cost of maintenance, which is directly proportional to the highest danger level of the road present in that subset. The engineer wants to select the smallest subset that keeps the towns connected directly or indirectly and that also has the lowest cost of maintenance. Develop an algorithm to find such a subset. Justify the correctness of your algorithm and derive its runtime.

Obviously a phone and grocers :) Just kidding it’s probably college

A secured loan would most likely be used to pay for a car, the correct option is B.

We are given that;

The four options

Now,

A secured loan is a loan that is backed up by collateral pledged by the borrower, such as a car or property.

The lender can sell the collateral to cover repayment of the loan if the borrower defaults.

Car, since it is a common type of collateral for secured loans.

College, groceries and a phone are less likely to be used as collateral for secured loans, since they are either intangible, perishable or low-value assets.

Therefore, by loan the answer will be car.

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2x+4y= 14 a need goes through (4,6)

Answers

Answer:  4x-2y = 4

This can be simplified to 2x-y = 2

Solving for y leads to y = 2x-2

========================================================

Explanation:

Anything perpendicular to Ax+By = C is of the form Bx-Ay = D

The given equation 2x+4y = 14 tells us that A = 2, B = 4, C = 14.

So Bx-Ay = D updates to 4x-2y = D.

We'll plug in the coordinates of the given point (x,y) = (4,6) to solve for D.

4x-2y = D

D = 4x-2y

D = 4(4)-2(6)

D = 16-12

D = 4

So 4x-2y = D updates to 4x-2y = 4

Optionally, we can divide each term by 2 to go from 4x-2y = 4 to 2x-y = 2

If we wanted to solve for y, then we'd get y = 2x-2

Answers

Answer:

$ 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

if we assume head costs $ x then,

body will cost $x + 2 (2 more than head)

and tail will cost $x+1

x+x+2+x+1 = $ 4.20

or, 3x = 4.20-3

A car salesman earns a 3% commission on sales. If he sells a car for AED 75,990, how much the commission amount will he earn if he sells 4 cars?

Answers

Answer:

AED 9118.80

Step-by-step explanation:

to find out how much he earns for 1 car, multiply 75990 by 0.03 (3%). so the salesman earns 2279.70 per car sold. next, multiply this number by 4 to get the amount he earned for 4 cars: 9118.80

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-9, -3) and (-19, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use this formula to find the slope⤵⤵⤵

[tex] \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } [/tex]

(Sorry if it's a bit small btw)

Now we plug in the values accordingly:

-3 - (-3) = -3 + 3 = 0

-19 - (-9) = -19 + 9 = -10

Slope = 0/-10

So we have 0/-10, which means our slope is actually just 0.

(This also means that the line on the graph will be horizontal.)
