6 0

Answer:

39 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to first set up a proportion with x equaling the number of students who voted for the athlete, 65/100 = x/60. 65/100 represents 65% and it is equal to a certain number of students out of 60. To solve for x you need to cross multiply so you would have 100x=65(60), simplified this would be 100x=3900, then you divide both sides by 100 to get x over 39. So, 39 students voted for the athlete.

The store bought a pair of shoes for $50, and sold it for $80. What percentage was the markup? PLZ HELPPP!!!
drek231 [11]

Answer:

37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup would be 37.5%. 80-50 = 30. If you set up the  

proportion, is/of = %/100, it would be 30/80 = %/100. Multiply  

30*100. = 3,000. Divide this by 80 and you get 37.5.

Why doesn't a moving a object keep moving forever?
mrs_skeptik [129]
-- If a moving object speeds up, slows, down, or changes its direction, then that has to be because there's some force on it. 

-- If there's no force on an object, then it keeps moving forever, at a constant speed in a straight line. 

-- We can never see that happening on Earth, because around here, there's always some force on a moving object ... like gravity, friction, and air resistance.  In order for it to actually happen, it pretty much has to be happening in outer space. 

Examples: 

-- The Earth keeps moving around the sun, and TV satellites keep moving around the Earth, without slowing down. 

-- Even the International Space Station, orbiting about 270 miles above the earth's surface, is <u>almost</u> outside all of the atmosphere, but not quite.  There's still a tiny bit of air out there, slowing it down and 'decaying' its orbit.  About once a month, they have to give it a short burst of rocket fire, to boost it back up to the altitude where it's supposed to be.

Claire went home after school and told her mother that 1 whole is the same as 2/2 and 6/6. Her mother ask why but Claire couldn’
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

<h2>Explanation will help you to understand better.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take an example to get to the answer.

Suppose, at the lunch time you are going to eat a cake, which you want to share with your friend equally. So, you have divided it in 2 equal parts. At the mean time your friend got stuck in somewhere else, and so you finished the cake all alone.

As you finished the whole cake, it means you ate the two equal parts.

It means you ate 2/2 part of the cake that is the whole cake.

Now, if you had divided the cake in 6 equal parts, then it would have called like 6/6 part of the cake.

Hence, 1 = 2/2 = 6/6.

The length of a rectangular dog run is 2 feet more than twice the width, w, and the perimeter of the dog run is 32 feet. Solve t
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The width is:

  • width = 4.7 feet

The length is:

  • length = 11.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

2w\:+\:2\left(2w\:+\:2\right)\:=\:32

2w+4w+4=32          ∵ a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac

Add similar elements: 2w+4w=6w

6w+4=32

subtract 4 from both sides

6w+4-4=32-4

6w=28

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{28}{6}

w=\frac{14}{3}

Hence, the width is:

w=\frac{14}{3}

w = 4.7 feet

Therefore, the width is: 4.7 feet

As the length is:

2w+2 = 2(14/3)+2

          = 28/3 + 2

           = 34/3

            = 11.3 feet

Therefore, the length is: 11.3 feet

SUMMARY:

The width is:

  • width = 4.7 feet

The length is:

  • length = 11.3 feet

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. What is the length of each side if the perimeter of the triangle is 90 cm?
iogann1982 [59]
What we can do is set up an algebraic equation. 

our variable can me L for Length

3L+4L+5L=90

now all we have to do is solve

12L=90
----   ----
12      12

L=7.5

now multiple each number in the ratio by 7.5 to find out how long each side is

3 times 7.5 is 22.5
4 times 7.5 is 30
5 times 7.5 is 37.5

the side lengths are 22.5, 30, and 37.5
