Answer:

The earning would be approximately 79.29 % in the final exam

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In class grade the percentage of homework = 40 % = 0.40 ,

Percentage of quizzes =  25 % = 0.25,

Percentage of final exam = 35 %=0.35,

Also, there is an earning of 95% in homework and 84% in quizzes entering the final exam,

⇒ Earning in homework = 95 % of 0.40,

And, earning in quizzes = 84 % of 0.25

Let x be the percentage do you have to earn in the final in order to have an 87% overall percentage,

\implies 95 \%\text{ of }0.40+84\%\text{ of }0.25 + x\%\text{ of }0.35=87\%

59.25+0.35x=87

0.35x=27.75

\implies x = 79.2857142857\approx 79.29\%

Hence, the earning would be approximately 79.29 % in the final exam in order to have an 87% overall percentage.

You have an 81.3. To find this you take your average for the parts, say for example the tests and multiply it times the percentage as a decimal. So for the tests it would be 84.20*0.40  

So out of 40 points possible of the 100 final points you got 33.68. You would do this for all the sections and add the points together  

(84.20*0.40)+(61.75*0.35)+(99.57*0.15)

The ages of three children in a family can be expressed as consecutive integers. The square of the age of the youngest child is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: 10, 11, & 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the age of the youngest child.  

Their ages are consecutive so,

Youngest: x

Middle: x + 1

Oldest: x + 2

The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.

x² = 8(x + 2) + 4

x² = 8x + 16 + 4

x² = 8x + 20

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0

x - 10 = 0     or      x + 2 = 0

  x = 10       or          x = -2

Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid

So, the Youngest (x) is 10

the Middle (x + 1) is 11

and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12

Shelly bought 7 boxes of fish food and 2 packets of cat food. Each box of fish food contained 6 pouches, and each packet of cat
AfilCa [17]

<u>Answer:</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>u</u><u>c</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u>s</u>

7 boxes - fish food; 1 box contained 6 pouches

Total amount of fish food is 7 × 6 = 42 pouches of fish food

2 packets - cat food; 1 packet contained 4 pouches

Total amount of cat food is 2 × 4 = 8 pouches

How many more pouches of fish food than cat food did Shelly buy?

42 pouches - 8 pouches = 34 pouches

Therefore there was 34 more pouches of fish food than cat food

Explain why any rotation can be described by an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees
Oksanka [162]
Because if you rotate an object 360 degrees it’s like the object never moved because the object would still be in the same spot as if you didn’t move it

What is the volume of the right triangular prism shown?
ollegr [7]

<u>Given</u>:

The sides of the base of the triangle are 8, 15 and 17.

The height of the prism is 15 units.

We need to determine the volume of the right triangular prism.

<u>Area of the base of the triangle:</u>

The area of the base of the triangle can be determined using the Heron's formula.

S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}

Substituting a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17. Thus, we have;

S=\frac{8+15+17}{2}

S=\frac{40}{2}=20

Using Heron's formula, we have;

Area = \sqrt{S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}

Area = \sqrt{20(20-8)(20-15)(20-17)}

Area = \sqrt{20(12)(5)(3)}

Area = \sqrt{3600}

Area = 36

Thus, the area of the base of the right triangular prism is 36 square units.

<u>Volume of the right triangular prism:</u>

The volume of the right triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

V=\frac{1}{2}A_b h

where A_b is the area of the base of the prism and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting the values, we have;

V=\frac{1}{2}(60\times 15)

V=450

Thus, the volume of the right triangular prism is 450 cubic units.
