A prize was awarded to 24 women and 1010 men.
a. What fraction of the prize winners were women?
b. What fraction were men?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]W = \frac{12}{17}[/tex] -- Women

[tex]M = \frac{5}{17}[/tex] --- Men

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Men = 10[/tex] --- not 1010

[tex]Women = 24[/tex]

Solving (a) Fraction of Women

This is calculated as:

[tex]W = \frac{Women}{Men + Women}[/tex]

Substitute values for Women and Men

[tex]W = \frac{24}{10+24}[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{24}{34}[/tex]

Simplify fraction

[tex]W = \frac{12}{17}[/tex]

Solving (b) Fraction of Men

This is calculated as:

[tex]M = \frac{Men}{Men + Women}[/tex]

Substitute values for Women and Men

[tex]M = \frac{10}{10+24}[/tex]

[tex]M = \frac{10}{34}[/tex]

Simplify fraction

[tex]M = \frac{5}{17}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The original price of the shirt is simply the sum of the purchased price and the discount price, that is:

original price = $17.55 + $5.85

original price = $23.40

The equation that best model this scenario is:

x - 5.85 = 17.55

20 books are divided parcels, each parcel contains one fifth of the total. If a librarian wants to buy 16 books how many fifths should he take?

Answers

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of the total= 1 parcel= 1/5 of 20= 4

So one parcel is 4 books

Then you can set up an equation 16=4x where x = number of parcels.

4x = 16

4x/4 = 16/4

x=4

Gwen takes out a loan of $400 to pay for an online course. Flat rate interest is charged at 8% p.a

If she repays the loan in 3
months, how much interest does she pay in total?

Answers

We know, 1 year = 12 month.

So, 3 month = 3/12 = 0.25 year.

Now, principle amount, P = $400 .

Rate is, r = 8% = 0.08

Time period, t = 0.25 year.

Now, Interest is given by :

I = P × r × t

I = $( 400 × 0.08 × 0.25 )

I = $8

Therefore, she will pay $8 interest in total.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is nine
times the measure of the first angle. The third angle is 20 more than the second. Let x, y, and z represent the measures of
the first, second, and third angles, respectively. Find the measures of the three angles,
balor

Answers

Divide the measure of all 3 angles into 10 parts...1 part is the measure of angle x, and the other angles add up to the other 9 parts. 180/10=18...so x = 18.
So angle y and z together add up to the other 162 degrees.
Divide 162 in half to find the “middle”...162/2=81.
Since we were told that the difference between y and z is 20...y would be 10 less than that middle number, and z would be 10 more than it...so y=71, and z=91.
The answers are...
X=18, Y =71, Z=91

Martha will build a pool in her backyard. She wants the pool to have a rectangular shape
and to be five meters long and three meters wide. What would the area in Martha's backyard that will be lost due to the construction of the pool? There are 3.28084 feet in
one meter.

A 15 square feet
B 80.729 square feet
C 161.459 square feet
D 322.918 square feet

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C.  161.459 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In feet, the dimensions of the pool are ...

  (5 m)(3.28084 ft/m) = 16.4042 ft

  (3 m)(3.28084 ft/m) = 9.84252 ft

Then the area of the pool is ...

  (16.4042 ft)(9.84252 ft) = 161.458666584 square feet

  about 161.459 square feet

_____

Additional comment

If you consider that a square meter is slightly less than 11 square feet, the pool area can be estimated to be (5 m)(3 m)(11 ft²/m²) = 165 ft². This is close enough to point you to the correct answer choice.

An area of a wall is 50 in. wide and 35 in. high. Will a mirror with a 62 in. diagonal fit in it? Identify the correct explanation.

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

i used the pythagorean theorem and used 50 and 35 as the legs and the diagonal as the hypotenuse

35² + 50² = c²

c² = 3725

c = [tex]\sqrt{3725}[/tex], which is 61.03

since 61.03 is less than 62" then it should fit in

No, Given Mirror will be not fit in the wall.

Here, we use Pythagoras theorem

Base is 50 inch , Height is 35 inch

Now we have to find hypotenuse

[tex]h^{2} =(50)^{2}+(35)^{2} \\\\h^{2}=2500+1225=3725\\\\h=\sqrt{3725}=61.03[/tex]

Since, Diagonal length of wall is 61.03 inch which is less than mirror diagonal length.

Therefore, mirror is not fit in the wall.

Question 8 (1 point) Mrs. Hernandez is making a circular skirt for her daughter's Valentine banquet. She will glue a piece of sequin trim at the edge of the skirt. If the diameter of the circular skirt is 36 inches, what will be the closest measurement needed for the sequin trim in inches? 113 inches 57 Inches 1017 inches 72 inches​

Answers

Answer: 113 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we have to find the perimeter of a circle since the skirt is circular. This will be:

Perimeter = 2πr

where

π = 3.142

r = diameter/2 = 36/2 = 18

The closest measurement needed for the sequin trim will then be:

= 2πr

= 2 × 3.142 × 18

= 113.112

= 113 inches

  3: the solutions make the hangars balance

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can write the equations by listing the contents of the hangar and using an equal sign to show the balance between left side and right side. It can work well to put left side contents of the hangar on the left side of the equal sign.

  A: x + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = z + z  simplifies to  6 = 2z

__

2. B: We can subtract 3 from both sides of the hangar (and equation) to find the value of x.

  (x +3) -3 = 5 -3

  x = 2 . . . . . hangar balances with 2 on the right

D: We can divide both sides of the hangar by 2, splitting the content into two equal parts. Then one of those parts can be removed from each side.

  2(3) = 2(z)

  3 = z . . . . . . hangar balances with 3 on the left

__

3. The found values will keep the hangar in balance when they are substituted for the corresponding variables.

  A: 2 + 3 = 5

  C: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 + 3

A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches. Then he measured the

shadow of a flagpole at 125 feet. How tall is the flagpole?(Round to the

nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer:

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using proportions, by rule of three.

Each feet has 12 inches. So

A 6 foot man measured his shadow at13 feet 9 inches.

So when the real height is of 6 feet, the shadow is of 13 feet + (9/12) feet = 13.75 feet.

When the shadow is of 125 feet, the height is x. So

6 feet - 13.75 feet

x feet - 125 feet

Applying cross multiplication

[tex]13.75x = 6*125[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6*125}{13.75}[/tex]

[tex]x = 54.5[/tex]

The flagpole is 54.5 inches tall.
