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!

The triangles are similar. If KL = 5, JL = 6, and PM = 9, find PN. Round to the nearest tenth.
Pachacha [2.7K]
If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 0.1x = 60

15 - 15 + 0.1x = 60 - 15

0.1x = 45

\frac{0.1x}{0.1} = \frac{45}{0.1}

x = 450

Hello whats is the size of the angle
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of the triangle and 140° are adjacent and supplementary, thus

interior angle = 180° - 140° = 40°

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

105° is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

x + 40° = 105° ( subtract 40° from both sides )

x = 65°

An unbiased coin is tossed 15 times. In how many ways can the coin land tails either exactly 8 times orexactly 5 times?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Probability to get tails exactly 8 times or exactly 5 times is 0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

No of ways the coins lands tails exactly 8 times

P(8) = 15C8 × 0.5^{8} × 0.5^{15-8}

No of ways the coin lands tails exactly 5 times

P(5) = 15C5 × 0.5^{5} × 0.5^{15-5}

Probability to get tails exactly 8 times or 5 times

P(8)+P(5) =  15C8 × 0.5^{15} + 15C5 × 0.5^{15}

P = 0.5^{15} (  15C8 + 15C5 )

P = 0.5^{15} ( (  \frac{15!}{8!(15-8)!}  ) + ( \frac{15!}{5!(15-5)!} ) )

P = 0.5^{15} ( 6435 + 3003 )

P = 0.5^{15} ( 9438)

P = 0.5^{14} ( 4719)

P =  \frac{4719}{16384}

P = 0.29
