Answer:

A0 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many girls there are by subtracting 8 (boys) from 20 (total). This means there are 12 girls. Since 8 girls aren't speaking, 4 are. 4+4=8. 8 out of the 20 children are speaking/ 8/20 simplified is 2/5

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, Marlon was looking for his pump. Thus, no air was pumped into the balloon until he got the pump. On getting the pump, he inflated the balloon with air at a constant rate, after which he tied it with a string to prevent the air from escaping.

The analysis is that, at the time he decided to inflate the balloon till he got a pump, the volume of air in the balloon is zero with respect to time. Pumping air at a steady rate into the balloon increases the volume of air flowing into it gradually and steadily.

When the volume got to a definite amount, he stopped pumping air and tied with a string. Thus, the volume of air in the balloon remains constant.

Shenelle has 100 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden. The garden's area (in square meters) as a function of the gard
ad-work [718]

Answer:

625 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the area function expressed as a(w)=-(w-25)^2+625.

The maximum area occurs at when da/dw = 0

da/dw = -2(w-25)

0 = -2(w-25)

-2(w-25) = 0

w - 25  = 0

w = 25

Substitute w = 25 into the modeled equation;

Recall a(w)=-(w-25)^2+625.

a(25)=-(25-25)^2+625

a(25) = 0+625

a(25) = 625

Hence the maximum area possible is 625 metres
