Answer:

\frac{4}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

Number of students voted for Omar = \frac{2}{15}

Number of students voted for Scott= \frac{3}{5} = \frac{9}{15}

Therefore, we get that,

Total number of votes = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{9}{15}

i.e. Total number of votes = \frac{11}{15}

So, it can be seen that 'out of 15 students, 11 voted for both Omar and Lindsey combined'.

As the rest of students voted for Lindsey. Therefore, number of students who voted for Lindsey = 15 - 11 = 4.

So, it gives us that 'out of 15 students, 4 voted for Lindsey'.

Hence, the fraction of students that voted for Lindsey is \frac{4}{15}

Okay so Omar had 2/15 of the votes and Scott had 3/5 which will go up to 9/15 before it was reduced down so 9 plus 2 is 11 so 15 minus 11 is 4 so Lindsey got 4/15 of the votes.

Answer:

800%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume of a square based pyramid</u>

\sf V=\dfrac{1}{3}a^2h

where:

  • a = base side length
  • h = height

<u>Given values</u> for Pyramid A:

  • a = 14 inches
  • h = 6 inches

Substitute the given values into the formula to find the volume of <u>Pyramid A</u>:

\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of Pyramid A} & = \sf \dfrac{1}{3}(14)^2(6)\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1176}{3}\\\\& = \sf 392\:\: in^3 \end{aligned}

Given:

  • Volume of Pyramid B = 3136 in³

To find how many times bigger Pyramid B is than Pyramid A, divide the <u>volume of Pyramid B</u> by the <u>volume of Pyramid A</u>:

\implies \sf \dfrac{3136}{392}=8

Therefore, the volume of Pyramid B is 8 times bigger than the volume of Pyramid A.

8 as a percentage is 800%, since 800/100 = 8.

Therefore, the volume of Pyramid B is 800% the volume of Pyramid A.

To verify this, find 800% of the volume of Pyramid A:

⇒ 800% of 392

= 800/100 × 392

= 8 × 392

= 3136

A bank teller has some stacks of bills. The total value of the bills in each stack
Natali [406]
So since only 20 dollar bills and the other one is a 50
then

so we find some combos that will work
five 20's make 100
we notice that we can only have 20's in multipules of 5 to make 100's becauause 4 20's makes 80 and 3 20's make 60 and 2 20's make40 and none of those add to 50 evenly to make 100's
(probably confusing but I hope you understand if you think about it)

so we have
5 20's =100
10 20's=200
15 20's=300
20
25
30
35
40
45 20's=900
50 20's=1000

so how many multiplules did we have?
10
but wait, if we havve 1000 in all 20's we still need at least one 50 so we subtract 100
900:9
answe ris 9 stacks

answer is 9 stacks or A

Could you help me with this problem
Doss [256]

Answer:

For x

We use cosine

cos 45° = 2/x

After solving

x = 2√2

Since we have the value of x we use it to get the value of y

we use cosine

cos 60° = 2√2/y

y =2√2/cos 60

y = 4√2

We use Pythagoras theorem to find z

(4√2)² = (2√2)² + z²

z² = 32 - 8

z² = 24

z = √24

z = 2√6

Therefore x = 2√2

y = 4√2

z = 2√6

Hope this helps.
