The answer is:  " 975 girls " .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
What is 65% of 1500?
___________________________________________________
  65/100 * 1500/1 = ?  ;

The two "zeros" in "100" cancel out;  
and the two "zeros" in "1500" cancel out;
____________________________________________________
    And we are left with:
____________________________________________________
    65/1  * 15/1 = 65 * 15 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER METHOD:
_____________________________________________________
   65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 = 0.65 * 1500 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER Method:
_____________________________________________________
  65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 ;

Note:  65/100 = (65÷5) / (100÷5) = 13/20;

13/20 * 1500 = 13/20 * 1500/1 = ? ;

 The "zero" in "20" cancels out; and the last zero in "1500" cancels out;

and we have:  13/2 * 150/1 ;  

The "2" cancels to a "1" ; and the "150" cancels to a "75"; 

and we have:  13/1 * 75/1 = 13 * 75 = 975 .

8 + 4f = 3f solve for f
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

f=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

8+4f=3f

8+4f-4f=3f-4f (Subtract 4f from both sides of the equation to isolate f)

8=-f (Simplify)

-f=8 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

\frac{-f}{-1} =\frac{8}{-1} (Divide both sides of the equation by -1 to get rid of f's coefficient; remember that -f=-1*f, so -f has a coefficient of -1)

f=-8 (Simplify)

Hope this helps!

F(x) = x2. What is g(x)?
puteri [66]

Answer:

C:  g(x) = 3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that (1, 1) is on the graph of f(x) and that (1, 3) is on the graph of g(x).  This indicates that the coefficient of x^2 is 3 for g(x).
