<h3>Answer: 30</h3>

Work Shown:

2/5 of 75 = (2/5)*75 = 0.4*75 = 30

Yesterday 30 people gave speeches. There are 75-30 = 45 people left.

1/3 of 45 = (1/3)*45 = 15

Then another 15 people gave speeches today. So there are 45-15 = 30 people who haven't given their speeches yet.

Calculate the distance between the points H=(-2, -5) and K=(-7, 1) in the coordinate plane.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

$d=\sqrt{61}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is given by the expression $d=\sqrt{(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta y)^2}= \sqrt{[(-2)-(-7)]^2+[(-5)-(1)]^2} = \sqrt{(-2+7)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{(25+36)}=\sqrt {61}$

Pls help!!!!

from 300 to 250 is well, just a change of 50 units.

if we take the 300 as the 100%, what is 50 off of it as percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 300&100\\ 50&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{300}{50}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 6=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 6x=100 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{100}{6}\implies x=\cfrac{50}{3}\implies x=16.666666\overline{6}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x = 16.7}$
