A prize was awarded to 24 women and 1130 men. a. What fraction of the prize winners were women? b. What fraction were men?

Brums [2.3K]

a) The fraction of women is $\frac{12}{577}$

b) The fraction of men is $\frac{565}{577}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this part of the problem, we are asked to find what fraction of the prize winners are women.

We have:

$w=24$ (number of prizes awarded to women)

$m=1130$ (number of prizes awarded to men)

First of all, we calculate the total number of prizes awarded:

$p=w+m=24+1130=1154$

Now we find the fraction of prize winners who were women, which is given by:

$p(w) = \frac{w}{p}=\frac{24}{1154}$

And we can simplify by dividing both numerators and denominators by 2,

$p(w)=\frac{24}{1154}=\frac{12}{577}$

The total number of prizes awarded is

$p=1154$

The number of prizes assigned to men is

$m=1130$

Therefore, the fraction of prize winners who were men is

$p(m)=\frac{m}{p}=\frac{1130}{1154}=\frac{565}{577}$

where we simplified the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

Answer:

The best choice is y = 82.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Just simplify both sides of the equation, then isolate the variable.

Which makes it's exact form y= 34^5/4 and when converting it to decimal form it becomes y = 82.1
