6 0

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for every 500 computers, 6 are defective. So, to know what percentage of computers are defective on average, we can do a rule of three:

500 computers -> 6 defective

100 computers -> X defective

500/100 = 6/X

X = 100 * 6 / 500 = 1.2

So, in average, for every 100 computers, 1.2 are defective, so the percentage is 1.2% (1.2 for every 100)

Simplify completely x^2+4x-45 / x^2+10x+9
S_A_V [24]

Answer: x - 5/x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This algebraic fraction

The task to be performed here is factorisation and simplification. Now going by the question,

x² + 4x - 45/x² + 10x + 9, the factorisation of

x² + 4x - 45 = x² + 9x - 5x - 45

= x(x + 9 ) - 5(x + 9 )

= ( x + 9 )(x - 5 ), don't forget this is the algebraic fraction's Numerator

The second part

x² + 10x + 9 = x² + x + 9x + 9

= x(x + 1) + 9( x + 1 )

= ( x + 9 )( x + 1 ), this is the algebraic denominator.

Now place the second expression which is the denominator under the first expression which is the numerator.

( x + 9 )( x - 5 )/( x + 9 )( x + 1 ).

You can see that, ( x + 9 )/( x + 9 ) divide each other , therefore therr then cancelled and left with

x - 5/x + 1

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y
