It’s the first answer choice
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students is 1800 + 1200 = 3000
The % of boys who did not pass is 100% - 32% = 68%
The number of boys who did not pass is 68/100 * 1800 = 1224
The % of the girls who did not pass is 100% - 50% = 50%
The number of girls who did not pass was 50/100 * 1200 = 600
The total number who did not pass was 1824
The % who did not pass was 1824/3000 * 100 = 60.8%
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Since
5 : 225 = 1 : X
Then we know
225/5 = X/1
Multiplying both sides by 1 cancels on the right
1 × (225/5) = (X/1) × 1
1 × (225/5) = X
Then solving for X
X = 1 × (225/5)
X = 45
Therefore
5 : 225 = 1 : 45
1/6p - 4/5
Explanation: -2/3p needs to have the same denominator as 5/6p so they can combine. (Note, whatever sign is in front of a number determines if it is negative or positive. Your equation indicates that the bolded parts are negative and the other parts are positive: -2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p. So what we are really doing in an equation like this is combining some numbers together)
-2/3p and 5/6p and the least common multiple of six, so we adjust the numbers to each have a denominator of 6. 5/6p is already there, so we need to adjust -2/3p.
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to turn -2/3p into -4/6p. -4/6p has the same value as -2/3p, and now it also has the same denominator as 5/6p!
We then have to combine like terms, therefore combining -4/6p with 5/6p. When adding together fractions, the denominator does not change (this is why both numbers must have the same denominators). So our answer will be _/6p. So we combine -4 with 5, giving us one.
Therefore, -2/3p combined with 5/6p is 1/6p.
Now we have to combine our other set of like terms, 1/5 and -1. We can do this the same way that we combined the other numbers.
1/5 and -1 need the same denominator. This is simple because 1 can easily be figured out with any denominator, as long as the numerator and denominator are the same. This would make 1 = 5/5. But we need it negative, so it would be -5/5.
Now that we have common denominators, we can combine!
1/5 - 5/5
Remember what we said before, the solution will have the same denominator, so all we need to do is (in this case) subtract the numerators.
1 - 5 = 4
So that would be -4/5.
With the like terms combined, we just need to put our two combinations (1/6p and -4/5) together!
Our answer: 1/6p - 4/5
I hope that helps!
