Answer:

36 °

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

replacing:

Tan A ° = 50/68

Tan A ° = 0.735

A ° = arc tan (0.735)

A ° = 36.32

Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°

a number line is divided into 8 equal parts to show eighths. A point is labeled 1/2. Name the equivalent fraction for the labele
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

4/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/8 is the correct answer for this question. This is why. If you take 8 and divide it in half, your answer will be 4. Also because fractions are division so the fraction 8/2 equals 4. This means the 1/2 mark is equal to 4.

en una fiesta hay 16 personas de las cuales el 25% son mujeres, luego llegan mas mujeres a la fiesta, de tal manera que ahora lo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<u>English (Ingles):</u>
10 Women come to the party.

<u>Spanish (Espanol):</u>

10 Las mujeres vienen a la fiesta.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>English (Ingles):</u>

We know that there are 16 people there at the start. 25% of those people are women. We can work out by subtracting 100 by 25 that 75% of the p-eople there are men. We need to do 25% of 16 so we can work out how many men and women there are there.

So we find 10% of 16 which is 1.6 then we take off 5% of 1.6 which is 0.08. We then double 1.6 to get 20% which gives us 3.2. We now add on the 5% to make it 25% which gives us 4.

This means 25% of 16 is 4.

This tells us that there are 4 women at the party and 12 men as 16 - 4 = 12.

It now says that more women arrive which makes the percentage for men go down to 60%. We now need to add 5% on to the 25% of women there are which will tell us how many more women there are now and it will let us work out how many women and men there are in total now.

As we can't do this without it giving us 4.8, we know that 25% of people is 4 women which means 50% of people would be 8 women and we make an estimate of how many women have joined which gives us 6 people which means the total amount of women at the party is 10.

<u>Spanish (Espanol):</u>

<u />

Sabemos que hay 16 personas allí al principio. El 25% de esas personas son mujeres. Podemos calcular restando 100 por 25 que el 75% de las personas son hombres. Necesitamos hacer el 25% de 16 para poder calcular cuántos hombres y mujeres hay allí.

Así que encontramos el 10 % de 16, que es 1,6, luego quitamos el 5 % de 1,6, que es 0,08. Luego duplicamos 1,6 para obtener el 20%, lo que nos da 3,2. Ahora sumamos el 5% para convertirlo en 25%, lo que nos da 4.

Esto significa que el 25% de 16 es 4.

Esto nos dice que hay 4 mujeres en la fiesta y 12 hombres como 16 - 4 = 12.

Ahora dice que llegan más mujeres lo que hace que el porcentaje de hombres baje al 60%. Ahora necesitamos agregar un 5% al ​​25% de mujeres que hay, lo que nos dirá cuántas mujeres más hay ahora y nos permitirá calcular cuántas mujeres y hombres hay en total ahora.

Como no podemos hacer esto sin que nos dé 4.8, sabemos que el 25% de las personas son 4 mujeres, lo que significa que el 50% de las personas serían 8 mujeres y hacemos una estimación de cuántas mujeres se han unido, lo que nos da 6 personas que significa que la cantidad total de mujeres en la fiesta es 10.

Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
