The estimate for the total number of bees in her hive is 190 bees

She catches 90 of the bees on Monday and she puts mark on each bees and return them to her hive.

On Tuesday she catches 120 of the bees. She find out that 20 of the bees has been marked.

This means only 100 bees have not been marked on Tuesday.

total number = 90 + 100

In a group of 15 children the ratio of the boy : the girl is 2: 3: 5 more girls join the group. Calculate the percentage of boys

marta [7]

Answer:

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of children = 15

Ratio (Boys to Girls) = 2 : 3

Number of more girls join = 5

Find:

Percentage of boys in new group

Percentage decrease for the boys

Increase percent of the girls

Computation:

Number of boys = 15[2/5]

Number of boys = 6

Number of girls = 15[3/5]

Number of girls = 9

Percentage of boys = [6 / 15]100

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = [9 / 15]100

Percentage of girls = 60%

New number of students = 15 + 5

New number of students = 20

New number of boys = 6

New number of girls = 9 + 5 = 14

Percentage of new group boys = [6 / 20]100

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage of new group girls = [14 / 20]100

Percentage of new group girls = 70%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 40% - 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 70% - 60%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

To find the slope of the line, you need two points.
(-2 , 5) and (3 , -5)

5 - (-5) / -2 - 3
10 / -5 = -2

The slope of the line is -2. So your answer is C.

Sandra scores 4 baskets in his first basketball game. She then scored the same number of baskets in each of her next 3 games. If

Fiesta28 [93]

19 - 4 = 15 baskets made in those last three games. If the same number of baskets were made in those three games, she made five in each game, because 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 (the number of baskets made in those final three games). Thus 5 baskets per game is the answer. Hope this helps!
