The answer to this question is that 60% of the police department are men. 
To set it up, have \frac{54}{90} = \frac{x}{100} as 54 plus 36 equals 90. Multiplay 54 by 100 and then divide the product by 90 to get the pecent.

The answer is 60%

To set this problem up, you need to add both the number of women and men to find the total number of people employed in the police department. That number is your denominator.

After you have that value, place 54 in the numerator since that represents the number of males and proceed to simplify.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

The slopes of OA, OB ans OC are integer values.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line passing through two points then the slope of the line is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

If one point is origin then the slope of the line is

m=\frac{y_2-0}{x_2-0}=\frac{y_2}{x_2}

The slope of line OA is

m_{OA}=\frac{8}{2}=4

It is an integer.

The slope of line OB is

m_{OB}=\frac{9}{3}=3

It is an integer.

The slope of line OC is

m_{OC}=\frac{8}{4}=2

It is an integer.

The slope of line OD is

m_{OD}=\frac{8}{5}

It is not an integer.

The slope of line OE is

m_{OE}=\frac{7}{6}

It is not an integer.

The slope of line OF is

m_{OF}=\frac{6}{7}

It is not an integer.

Therefore the slopes of OA, OB ans OC are integer values.
