Answer:

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of children = 15

Ratio (Boys to Girls) = 2 : 3

Number of more girls join = 5

Find:

Percentage of boys in new group

Percentage decrease for the boys

Increase percent of the girls

Computation:

Number of boys = 15[2/5]

Number of boys = 6

Number of girls = 15[3/5]

Number of girls = 9

Percentage of boys = [6 / 15]100

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = [9 / 15]100

Percentage of girls = 60%

New number of students = 15 + 5

New number of students = 20

New number of boys = 6

New number of girls = 9 + 5 = 14

Percentage of new group boys = [6 / 20]100

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage of new group girls = [14 / 20]100

Percentage of new group girls = 70%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 40% - 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 70% - 60%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Correct answer:  x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 x⁴ + 14 x² - 5 = 0   biquadratic equation

this equation is solved by a shift  x² = t and get:

3 t² + 14 t - 5 = 0

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √14² - 4 · 3 · 5) / 2 · 3 = (-14 ± √196 + 60) / 6

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √256) / 6 = (-14 ± 16) / 6

t₁ = -5   or  t₂ = 1 / 3

the solution t₁ = -5 is not accepted because it cannot be x² = -5

we accepted  t₂ = 1 / 3

x² =  1 / 3  ⇒  

x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

There are 6 sixth graders , 7 seventh graders , and 8 eight graders entered in a contest.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>P (6th grader)</u>

  • No. of 6th graders / Total students
  • 6 / 6 + 7 + 8
  • 6/21
  • 2/7

<u>P (6th grader after)</u>

  • No. of 6th graders - 1 / Total students - 1
  • 6 - 1 / 21 - 1
  • 5/20
  • 1/4

<u>Question 1 : P (Both 6th graders)</u>

  • P = P (6th grader) × P (6th grader after)
  • P = 2/7 x 1/4 = 2/28 = <u>1/14</u>

<u></u>

<u>Question 2 : P' (Both 6th graders)</u>

  • P' = 1 - P
  • P' = 1 - 1/14
  • P' = <u>13/14</u>

Can someone help please!!!!
lara [203]

Answer:

1000 * 3^{9} Bacteria after 18 hours,

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition given in the problem is that the number of bacterial triple after every 2 hours.

So, after 2 hours, total bacteria= 1000 * 3

So, after 4 hours, total bacteria= 1000 * 3 * 3

Therefore, the general format for the number of bacteria is 1000 * 3^{n}, where n is the number of times the bacteria has tripled.

In 18 hours, there are \frac{18}{2} ties that the bacteria has tripled.

Therefore, the no. of bacteria after 9 hours= 1000 * 3^{9}
