Ina a class of 30 children,60% can swim. how many children cannot swim?

60% of the total (30) can swim
60% of 30 = (60/100)*30 = 0.60*30 = 18
So 18 children can swim

This means 30-18 = 12 cannot swim

---------------------------------------------------------

An alternative is to do it this way: 

We know 60% can swim so that means 40% cannot swim. 
Notice how 100% - 60% = 40%
Or in other words, the 60% and 40% add to 100%. This is because we have two choices: either the person can swim or cannot swim

Since 40% cannot swim, this means
40% of 30 = (40/100)*30 = 0.40*30 = 12
and we get the same result as before

---------------------------------------------------------

Final Answer: 12

P(x) =x and q(x) = x-1Given:minimum x and Maximum x: -9.4 and 9.4minimum y and maximum y: -6.2 and 6.2Using the rational functio
Arte-miy333 [17]

we have the following function

\frac{p(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{x}{x\text{ -1}}

where x is between -9.4 and 9.4 and y is between -6.2 and 6.2.

We will first draw the function

from the graph, we can see that the zeroes are all values of x for which the graph crosses the x -axis

In this case, we see that that the only zero is at x=0.

Now, we have that the asymptotes are lines to which the graph of the function get really close to. On one side, we can see that as x goes to infinity or minus infinity, the values of the function get really close to 1. So the graph has a horizontal asymptote at y=1. Also, we can see that as x gets really close to 1, the graph gets really close to the vertical line x=1. So the graph has a vertical asymptote at x=1.

Recall that the domain of a function is the set of values of x for which the function is defined. From our graph, we can see that graph is not defined when x=1. So the domain of the function is the set of real numbers except x=1. Now, recall that the range of the function is the set of y values of the graph. From the picture we can see that the graph has a y coordinate for every value of y except for y=1. So, this means that the range of the function is the set of real numbers except y=1.

From the graph, we can see that we cannot draw the graph having a continous drawing. That is, imagine we take a pencil and start on one point on the graph on the left side. We can draw the whole graph on the left side, but we cannot draw the graph on the right side without lifting the pencil up. As we have to "lift the pencil up" this means that the graph is not continous

Finally note that as we have a vertical asymptote at x=1 and horizontal asymptote at y=1 we have that when y is 1 or x is 1, the function y=f(x)/g(x) is undefined

A farmer sees 56 of his cows out of the barn. He knows that he has 83 cows altogether. Let c represent the number of cows still
irinina [24]

No, the number of cows in the barn is 27. You can get this number by subtracting the 83 cows he has from the 56 that are out of the barn.

83 - 56 = 27

Could someone pls help me with this question!!!
romanna [79]

Answer:

15 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Jon will increase his weigh 2 lbs a week which means he will be 178 lbs in 15 weeks{148+(15*2)} while Matt will decrease his weight from 1 lbs which means he will be 178 lbs in 15 weeks (193-15=178).
