Answer: 3/10

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this case, 15% can be written as the ratio 15 to 100 or 15/100.

Notice however that 15/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 3/10.

Therefore, 15% can be written as the fraction 3/10.

Vilka [71]

Answer  ↣ 12 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation ↣ Ok I'm gonna use ratios because I can't draw a graph here.

Ok so if the garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes, then the ratio is 36:3 because every 3 minutes the garden hose "sprays" 36 gallons.

To simplify this ratio, you need find the amount of water the garden hose supplies in 1 minute.

Well to get from 3 to 1, you have to divide by 3.

Do the same thing to 36. 36/3 equals 12.

So the final ratio is 12:1

This is the unit rate. The unit rate is when one variable is 1 unit (most of the time it is speed).

You can multiply 1 by any number and multiply 12 by the same number.

Here are some ratios...

m=minutes

g=gallons

1m:12g

2m:24g

3m:36g

4m:48g

5m:60g

Hope this helped!

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

x = 162 cards need to be dealt with

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Estimation of likelyhood of next card to be queen, a king, or an ace:

                                  ( 64 - 0.2*x ) / ( 208 - x )

Find:

For what values of x is this likelihood greater than 70%?

Solution:

- Use the likely-hood estimation relation and set up the inequality as follows:

                                 ( 64 - 0.2*x ) / ( 208 - x ) > 0.7

                                 ( 64 - 0.2*x ) > 0.7*( 208 - x )

                                   64 - 0.2*x > 145.6 - 0.7*x

                                          0.5*x > 81.6

                                                 x > 163.2

- It would require 162 cards to be dealt with for the probability of next card being queen, a king, or an ace is greater than 70%
