30 students.....14 are boys...that means (30 - 14) = 16 are girls

if 2 boys are dropped......14 - 2 = 12 boys
and 2 girls are added......16 + 2 = 18 girls

fraction of the class that are boys is : 12/30 which reduces to 2/5 <==

14/30 =amount of boys
(14-2)/30
12/30=new amount

16/30 =original amount of girls
(16+2)/30=new amount of girls

12/30=6/15=2/5
2/5 is your answer

What number makes the expressions equivalent? Enter your answer in the box. 12 (–1.4m + 0.4) = m + 0.2
True [87]

Answer:

0.2584

Step-by-step explanation:

12 (–1.4m + 0.4) = m + 0.2

Open the bracket

-16.8m + 4.8 = m + 0.2

collect like terms

-16.8m - m = -4.8 + 0.2

-17.8m = -4.6

Divide both sides by -17.8

m = 4.6/17.8 = 46/178

m = 0.2584

What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer if the tax rate is 6%
valentinak56 [21]
What we need to do with this problem is multiply the amount the computer costs ($350) by the tax rate (6%). To do this, we first need to convert the percentage to a decimal, so we divide the 6 given by 100, leaving us with .06. Next, we need to multiply the $350 by the .06, giving us $21 as the amount we should be paying for sales tax. So your answer should be 2) $21.00!

A student is given that point P(a, b) lies on the terminal ray of angle Theta, which is between StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFra
Harman [31]

Answer:

<em>A.</em>

<em>The student made an error in step 3 because a is positive in Quadrant IV; therefore, </em>

<em />cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P\ (a,b)

r = \± \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}

cos\theta = \frac{-a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = -\frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}

Required

Where and which error did the student make

Given that the angle is in the 4th quadrant;

The value of r is positive, a is positive but b is negative;

Hence;

r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}

Since a belongs to the x axis and b belongs to the y axis;

cos\theta is calculated as thus

cos\theta = \frac{a}{r}

Substitute r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}

cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}}

cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}

Rationalize the denominator

cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} * \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}

cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}

So, from the list of given options;

<em>The student's mistake is that a is positive in quadrant iv and his error is in step 3</em>

If a tax percentage is 8% how much money would something $30 be?
lora16 [44]
<span>If the base rate of Taxation percentage is only 8%, and the item in question that is being taxed costs $30, then the answer of how much the tax will cost ends up being 8% of 30. 8% of 30 is 2.4 so 8% of $30 is $2.40. So the cost of the $30 item, including tax, is $32.40.</span>

Xan and Katie are twins. Xan weighs 66 6 6 pounds 99 9 9 ounces, and Katie weighs 88 8 8 pounds 11 1 1 ounce. What is the differ
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

264 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

#Convert Xan weight into ounces:

1lb= 16 \ oz\\\\66\ lb=66\times 16=1056 \ oz\\\\\therefore Xan's=1056 \ oz+ 99 \ oz=1155 \ oz

Convert Katie's 88 pounds 11 ounce to ounces:

1lb= 16 \ oz\\\\88\ lb=88\times 16=1056 \ oz\\\\\therefore Katie's=1408 \ oz+ 11 \ oz=1419\ oz

The difference is calculated by subtracting Xan's from Katie's:

=1419 \ oz-1155 \ oz\\\\=264\ oz

Hence, the difference between the weights is 264 ounces
