60%

Solve by creating a proportion
27/45 = x/100

Cross multiply to get 2700=45x

Divide 45 on both sides to get x=60

For every 20 penguins at the North Pole there are 9 polar bears. If you encountered 27 polar bears, how many penguins would you

cluponka [151]

Answer:

60 penguins

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out how many times 9, the number of polar bears for every 20 penguins, was multiplied by, so that we can multiply 20 penguins by the same amount.

27/9 = 3

20*3 = 60

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through point (1, -2) and has a slope of 1/3. 1.x - 3 y - 7 = 2.x -

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

x- 3y - 7=0

Step-by-step explanation:

the line in the slope-intercept form:

y= mx+b

m= 1/3 and point given (1, -2) by using which we find y-intercept:

b= y-1/3x
b= -2- 1/3*1= - 7/3

y= 1/3x- 7/3

General form of a line is: ax+by+c= 0

converting:

y= 1/3x- 7/3 ⇒ 3y= x- 7 ⇒ x- 3y - 7=0

Determine if

Gnesinka [82]

The values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The function is given as:

16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1

The above function is a horizontal hyperbola.

A horizontal hyperbola that passes through the origin is represented as:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$

Rewrite 16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1 as

$\frac{x^2}{1/16} - \frac{y^2}{1/25} = 1$

By comparison, we have:

$a^2 = \frac{1}{16}$

$b^2 = \frac{1}{25}$

Solve for a and b

$a = \frac{1}{4}$

$b = \frac{1}{5}$

Hence, the values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively
