Answer:
520
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is
boys + girls = total
Boys = 442
Girls = 15% of the total
Therefore, substituting in, gives us:
442 + .15t = t, where t is total
Then 442 = .85t and
t = 520
Answer:
-1 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the quadratic, factor and set its factors equal to 0. Factoring is the action of breaking up a polynomial into pieces which multiply to make it. The factors are found by multiplying numbers to make C and add to B of 
.
Here c = -9 and b = -8. The numbers -9 and 1 multiply to -9 and add to -8. These are the factors (x-9)(x+1).
Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.
x-9 = 0
x = 9
x+1 =0
x = -1
Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
4/9 and 11/18
<u>Solve:</u>
<em>STEP ONE: Make the denominators equal by determining the LCM</em>
LCM = Least Common Multiple
First Five multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
First FIve multiples of 18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
As we can see from the list above, both 18 and 36 overlap, however, 18 is less than 36. Therefore, 18 is the LCM.
<em>STEP TWO: Compare the size and determine the greater one.</em>
4/9 = (4 × 2) / (9 × 2) = 8/18
11/18 = 11/18
Since 11 > 8, therefore, 11/18 is greater than 8/18
<em>STEP THREE: Find the difference between the two fractions.</em>
11/18 - 4/9
=11/18 - 8/18
=(11 - 8) / 18
= 3 / 18
= 1/6
Hope this helps!! :)
