195 students voted for eagle in the election

What is ratio?

Ratio means expressing the a figure as a fraction of total figure, in the case of falcon, the number of students that voted for falcon is seen as 5 whereas the total number of students that voted is 8 whereas for eagle, the total number of students that voted for eagle is 1 compared to 3 which represents the total number of votes cast.

In a bid to determine the number of students that voted eagle in the election, we would simply multiply total votes of 536 by 1/3

votes for eagle=1/3*586

votes for eagle=195 votes

We have rounded to the nearest whole number since number of votes cannot be fractional

Deanna gets 3 problems incorrect on her math quiz and scores 85%. How many questions were on the quiz?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There were 20 questions on the quiz

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with knowing the number of questions on a quiz, given that Deana had a certain percentage after scoring an amount of marks.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of questions on the quiz be X.

Now, she got 85% by making 3 incorrect choices. This means the percentage of questions she got incorrectly would be 100-85 = 15%

what we are saying is that it is just 15% of her questions that were wrong.

This mathematically;

15% of x = 3

15/100 * x = 3

15x = 3 * 100

15x = 300

x = 300/15

x = 20

Which of the following ordered pairs are solutions to the system of equations below?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x = 43/12

y = - 35/6

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 4y = -9

y = 2x - 13

4x + 4(2x - 13) = - 9

4x + 8x - 52 = - 9

12x = 52 - 9

12x = 43

x = 43/12

y = 2×43/12 - 13

y = 86/12 - ¹²⁾13

y = (86 - 156)/12

y = - 70/12

y = - 35/6
