Answer:

The population density is 150 persons per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the area of the trapezoid.

Mathematically, the area of a trapezoid is

(a+b)/2 * h

from the grid, we can obtain the lengths

on the x-axis , each line is 40(200/5 thin lines)

on the y-axis, each thin line also is 40(200/5 thin lines)

thus a = (8 * 40) = 320

b = (10* 40) = 400

h = (3 * 40) = 120

Inserting this into the area equation, we have the area of the trapezoid as (320 + 400)/2 * 120 = 43,200 units

since each unit = 1 mile, the area of Tennessee = 43,200 units

The population density is thus ; 6,495,978/43,200= which is approximately 150 persons per square mile

What is 11/12 minus 3/8
Mrac [35]

Answer: \frac{13}{24}

Step-by-step explanation: 11/12 - 3/8

1. First, we will find a common denomenator. It needs to be the least common factor, or the answer will not be in its simplist form. Let's take a look at the multiples of 12 and 8.

12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96

8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72

2. Next, we will choose the smallest common multiple. That would be 24.

3. Now, we will work this out.

11/12 = 22/24

3/8 = 9/24

4. Subtract.

22/24 - 9/24

= 13/24

= \frac{13}{24}

I found the denomenators by multiplying.

Hope this answer helped!

Betty's grade in science class is affected by the number of missing assignments. The table below shows the science grade percent
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Hi!

y=-5x+95

<em>Plug in </em>15 for x

y=-5(15)+95

<em>Multiply </em>-5 <em>and </em>15

y=-75+95

<em>Add </em>-75 <em>and </em>95

y =15

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Betty's percentage is 15%.

The rate of change is the amount it changes for every missing assignment, therefore it would be -5.

 Therefore, the complete text is: "</span>To obtain the number of centimeters from a distance measured in meters, move the decimal point Two places left ".
<span> 
 The explanation is:
 
 1 meter has 100 centimeters,  then, if you have a distance of 45.55 centimeters and you want to know this value in meters, you need to divide it by 100 or, in others words, you need to </span>move the decimal point two places left:
<span> 
 =(45.55 centimeters)(1 meter/100 centimeters)
 =(45.55x1)/100
