The left-handed students
12% are left handed, percent means per hundred. Change percent into per 100.
12% = \dfrac{12}{100}

Then simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4
\dfrac{12}{100}
= \dfrac{12:4}{100:4}
= \dfrac{3}{25}
This is the fraction showing the proportion of the left-handed students

The right-handed students
Determine the fraction showing the proportion of the right-handed students
1 - the left-handed
= 1 - \dfrac{3}{25}

Equalize the denominator to 25
\dfrac{25}{25} - \dfrac{3}{25}

Simplify
\dfrac{21}{25}
This is the proportion of the right-handed students

<span>Are there more right-handed or left-handed students?
There are more right-handed students than the left-handed students, because 21/25 is more than 3/25</span>

There is triangle one of the angles is 101 degrees and the other is 38 workout x
Wittaler [7]

Angle sum property = Sum of the three angles of a triangle will be equal to 180° .

Using this let us find out the measure of x .

Measure of first angle = 101°

Measure of second angle = 38°

Measure of third angle = x

101 + 38 + x = 180

139 + x = 180

x = 180 - 139

= x = 41

∴ \: the \: value \: of \: x \:  = 41°

Alec and Kiara went to Freddy's Yogurt Shop for frozen yogurt. Alec got 8.6 ounces of strawberry frozen yogurt, and Kiara got 8.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

$8.40

Step-by-step explanation:

8.6 plus 8.2 is 16.8 so they had a total of 16.8 ounces.  $0.50 per ounce so you need to multiply 16.8 by 0.50 which is 8.40.  you can also do 8.6(0.5) plus 8.2(0.5)=  4.3 plus 4.1 = 8.4

1)if the equations 2x +y=7 and x-y= 2 are solved simultaneously, then y =
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  2x + y =7 -------------(I)

   x - y = 2   -----------(II)

2x + y = 7

<u> x - y = 2 </u>   {Now add both the equations. 'y will be cancelled}

3x     = 9

      x = 9/3

      x = 3

Plugin x = 3 in equation (I)

 2*3 + y = 7

     6+ y = 7

            y = 7 - 6 = 1

Answer: a) y = 1

2) Prime factorize 12 , 15 and 18

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

15 = 3 * 5

18 =  2 * 3 * 3

HCF = 3

e) 3
