Number of cards of John: J
Number of cards of Alan: A

<span>John and Alan have a collection of x baseball cards:
J+A=x    (1)

</span>John has x/4 cards:
J=x/4

<span>What fraction of the cards does Alan have?
</span>
Replacing J by x/4 in the equation (1)
(1) J+A=x
x/4+A=x

Solving for A:
x/4+A-x/4=x-x/4
A=4x/4-x/4
A=(4x-x)/4
A=3x/4

Answer: Alan has 3/4 of the cards

Answer:

9.09

Step-by-step explanation:

x=speed of boat

y=speed of water current

Downstream relative speed = x+y

Upstream relative speed = x-y

Distance remains the same for both upstream and downstream.

a) Distance travelled downstream = speed x time = 3(x+y)

Distance travelled upstream = speed x time = 3.6(x-y)

b) Since both distances are equal, we can write

3(x+y)= 3.6(x-y)

3x+3y = 3.6x-3.6y

6.6y = 0,6x

x=11y: y=x/11

c) Water current has speed as 1/11 times of that of boat

In percent this equals 100/11 = 9.09%

There are 5 exams in a semester. You have scored 77, 90, 85, and 100 on the previous four exams. What must you make on the fifth
siniylev [52]

Answer:

<h2>The correct answer for this question is 78.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The average or mean of any variable or mathematical phenomenon is calculated as the division of the sum of all the numbers or items within the particular variable by the total number of items or numbers within the variable.
  • In this case, the marks of the 4 exams in the semester are 77,90,85 and 100 respectively.There are total 5 exams in the semester.
  • Let's suppose that the marks for the 5th exam is x.
  • Therefore, based on the mathematical formula to compute average or mean,to get an overall average of 86 including all the 5 exams, one has to get:-

   \frac{77+90+85+100+x}{5}=86

  77+90+85+100+x=430

  x=430-77-90-85-100

  x=78

  • Hence, based on the above calculations,one has has to get 78 on the 5th exam to obtain an overall average of exactly 86.

Last option is none of the above
BigorU [14]

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

When rotating a point (or any shape around a certain point), none of the diameters of the shape will change. So for example, with this circle, when you rotate it around a point, the radius and circumference will not change because it has just rotated. It wont be on the x-axis though because point P is not on the x-axis an it is being rotated 180 degrees about point P. Just know that when you are rotating, nothing about the shape changes, all angles or measurements will be the same, it is just moving to a different place.

Hope this helped ^-^
