A collage has a 2:3 ratio of men to women in its student body.

This ratio means that there are two men for every three women. So, the ratio of women to men is 3:2. 

The total amount of students includes both men and women, so you would use 5. The ratio of women to total student is 3:5.

To find the percent, you divide the first number by the second number and multiply by 100. Our first number is the men, which is 2, and the total students are the second number, or 5.
2/5 = .4 * 100 = 40%

A ratio is the same thing as a fraction, so you take the amount of women (3) and put that over the total student body (5). 3/5 is your fraction.

Good luck, and I hope I helped!

Use the rule to find the image of the vertices ABC is A (-2,4), B(5,3), C(1,-6) for the translation. (3 points)
yarga [219]

Answer:

A'(-5, 6), B'(2, 5), C'(-2, -4). The image is <em>3 units left</em> and <em>2 units up</em> from the original.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x and y into the rule to find the image coordinates.

... A: (-2-3, 4+2) = A'(-5, 6)

... B: (5-3, 3+2) = B'(2, 5)

... C: (1-3, -6+2) = C'(-2, -4)

The translation x⇒ x-3 means the point is moved 3 units to the left (in the -x direction).

The tranlation y ⇒ y+2 means the point is moved 2 units up (in the +y direction).

Answer:

Slope: -2/3

Y-intercept: (0, 9)

Equation: y = -x + 9

3 blocks away: 6 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate slope from point (1, 8) to point (3, 7) on the line.

The y-intercept is where the line meets the y-axis.

The equation took a bit of guessing, but the -x is the y = x line, but reversed. 9 is the y-intercept.

Check the point on the line where x = 3.

Hope this helps!

Make Sense and Persevere Paxton, a summer camp counselor, has a budget of $300 to spend on caps and T-shirts for a summer camp.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

9 shirts and 10 caps

Step-by-step explanation:

Buying one t shirt costs 20 dollars, and one cap would cost 12 dollars. If Paxton bought one cap and one shirt, that would cost 32 dollars. If we multiply that by 9, we get 288. So Paxton can buy 9 shirts and 9 caps with 288 dollars. Paxton has 12 dollars left, so Paxton can buy one more cap to entirely spend the budget.
