Answer:
2.50 or 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4=.25 so 25% of a number=5/8=0.625
So we multiply .625*4 to get the number. Since it's 25% and we want 100% to get it back to the original number
.625*4=2.50 or 2.5
In quadratic equations,
a + b = -B
ab = C
where a and b are the roots, B is the second term, and C is the constant.
Substituting,
a + b = -12
ab = 35
The values of a and b from the equation is -7 and -5. Thus, the lesser root is -7.
Answer:
C) At most one sample is mutated
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 15 samples, it means that 15 is the total (100%) of samples. Then, if we know that there is a chance that 3% are mutated, then we calculate the 3% of 15:

This means that at most one sample is mutated, as this result is not zero (we discard answer A), and 0.45 is not more than half of the samples.
