To solve this you put it into a ratio
the number of students that like it will go on top and the total college students will be on bottom
5/8
if a college has a total of 4000 students, that will go on bottom and x will be on top
x/4000
to solve for x you would multiply 5 by 4000, and then divide by 8
this would give you x=2500

5 out of 8 turned into a fraction is 5/8. 5/8 turned into a percentage is 62.5%. 62.5% of 4,000 is 2,500. 2,500 students in the college like algebra.
Hope this helped.

The Law and Order detectives enter a house at 11:30 am and found a man on the floor murdered. They take his body temperature fin
taurus [48]

Answer:

Time of murder = 10:39 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of exponential function representing the final temperature of the body after time 't' is,

f(t) = a(e)^{nt}

Here, a = Initial temperature

n = Constant for the change in temperature

t = Duration

At 11:30 am temperature of the body was 91.8°F.

91.8 = 98.6(e)^{nt} --------(1)

Time to reach the body to the morgue = 12:30 pm

Duration to reach = 12:30 p.m. - 11:30 a.m.

                              = 1 hour

Therefore, equation will be,

84.4 = 91.8(e)^{n\times 1}

eⁿ = \frac{84.4}{91.8}

ln(eⁿ) = ln(0.9194)

n = -0.08403

From equation (1),

91.8 = 98.6(e)^{-0.08403t}

(e)^{0.08403t}=\frac{98.6}{91.8}

ln[(e)^{0.08403t}]=ln[\frac{98.6}{91.8}]

0.08403t = 0.07146

t = 0.85 hours

t ≈ 51 minutes

Therefore, murder was done 51 minutes before the detectives arrival.

Time of murder = 11:30 - 00:51

                          = 10:90 - 00:51

                          = 10:39 am

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Average speed is 48 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 16.0 km. The trip took 20.0 min. (a) What was her average speed? in km/hr

Distance traveled is 16 km and the time taken is 20 minutes

convert minutes into hour. to convert minutes into hour we divide by 60 because 1 hour = 60 minutes

\frac{20}{60} =\frac{1}{3}

so time = 1/3  and distance = 16

Average speed = distance by time

speed =\frac{16}{\frac{1}{3} } =\frac{48}{1}= 48

Average speed is 48 km per hour

Fill in the blank with a constant, so that the resulting expression can be factored as the product of two linear expressions: 2a
sdas [7]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed as follows;

In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.

Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.

Thus, we have;

2a(b-3) + 5b + _

Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;

2a(b-3) + 5b-15

2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)

So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)

Hence the constant used is -15

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is a1=3;an=12an−1 . What is the explicit rule for this sequence?
ehidna [41]
From the recursive rule, you can tell the initial value is 3 and the common ratio is 12. The explicit rule is always
.. (n-th term) = (initial value)*(common ratio)^(n -1)

Subsituting the values you know, you have
.. an = 3*12^(n-1)

Multiply the fractions. Write your answers in simplest form. 1/2 x 2/5
zepelin [54]
First make it that both denominators are the same.
(\frac{1}{2}  \times 5) + ( \frac{2}{5} \times 2) =  \frac{5}{10}  +  \frac{4}{10}
Then add both numerators
\frac{5}{10}  +  \frac{4}{10}  =  \frac{9}{10}
Your final answer should be
\frac{9}{10}
