Answer:

<u>22 counselors</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Ratio of campers to counselors in june:</u>

number of campers: 325

number of counselors: 26

Ratio = number of campers / number of counselors

Ratio = 325 campers / 26 counselors

<u />

<u>2. Ratio of campers to counselors in july:</u>

number of campers = 325 - 265 + 215 = 275

number of counselors = x (unknown)

Ratio = 275 campers / x

<u />

<u>3. Equivalent ratios:</u>

325 campers / 26 counselors = 275 campers / x

Solve for x:

x = (26counselors/325campers) × 275campers = 22 counselors ← answer

3 were called on Friday.
Then the each of the 3 called 3 others which all equals to 9, since 3*3 is 9.
Now, each of the 9 called 3 others on Sunday which altogether equals 27, since 9*3 is 27. Therefore, the answer is 27.

What is the Equation of this Trend line<br><br> K=_ J+_

Yuri [45]

Answer:so the standard form is y = mx + b

m is the slope (rise/run)

b is the y-intercept or where the slope intercepts the y-axis

so you end up with

k = (4/-2)j + 24

simplify this to

k = -2j + 24

Two dance teams, the Roses and the Tulips, are perfectly matched so that their chances of winning are both set at 50%. What is t

shtirl [24]

Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The fist step is to define the probabilities.

The events are independent from each other. Each team wins with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ and looses with probability $\frac{1}{2}.$ Let $P(W_R)$ be probability that Roses win and $P(L_R)$ be the probability that Roses loose.

Step 2

The second step is to calculate the probabilities by multiplying the probabilities with the first 3 terms in the product being the probability of a win and the last term being the probability of a loss.

The calculation is shown below,

$P(W_R)\times P(W_R)\times P(W_R)\times P(L_R)=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{16}$

Step 3

The last step is to convert this probability into a percentage. Converting this probability to a percentage is done as shown below,

$\frac{1}{16} \times 100\%=6.25\%.$

Step 4

The next step is to round down the percentage . The value of 6.25% rounded down is 6%. The correct answer is 6%.
