Answer:
7/48
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 48 in total
there are 7 white females
7/48
The 5x and the combination of (40° + x) are "vertical angles".
Vertical angles are equal.
So
5x = 40° + x
Subtract 'x' from each side: 4x = 40°
Divide each side by 4 : x = ?
Note this pattern: Mult. 24 by (-1/4) produces -6.
Mult -6 by (-1/4) produces 6/4 = 3/2
Mult. 3/2 by (-1/4) produces 3/8
Looks as though you copied the problem down incorrectly. You wrote 32 for 3/2 and -38 for -3/8.
The common ratio is -1/4.
