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

Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago

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

A jar that contains quarters and dimes is worth $7.15. If there are a total of 40 coins,
kherson [118]

Answer:

21 quarters and 19 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where q is the number of quarters and d is the number of dimes.

0.25q + 0.1d = 7.15

q + d = 40

Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by -0.25

0.25q + 0.1d = 7.15

-0.25q - 0.25d = -10

Add them together and solve for d:

-0.15d = -2.85

d = 19

Then, plug in 19 as d into the second equation to solve for q:

q + d = 40

q + 19 = 40

q = 21

So, there are 21 quarters and 19 dimes

Mean of a data = Sum of all observations ÷ Total number of observations

Mean of this data will be :

Sum of all observarions = 17 + 13 + 18 + 20 + 17 + 15 + 12 = 112

Total number of observations = 7

Mean = 112 ÷ 7

Mean = 16

Therefore the mean of this data set <em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em>

The Lopez family and the Russell family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lopez family's spr
grin007 [14]
L = hours used by the Lopez's sprinkler

R = hours used by the Russell's sprinkler

so, we know the Lopez's sprinkler uses 15 Liters per hour, so say after 1 hour it has used 15(1), after 2 hours it has used 15(2), after 3 hours it has used 15(3) liters and after L hours it has used then 15(L) or 15L.

likewise, the Russell's sprinkler, after R hours it has used 40R, since it uses 40 Liters per hour.

we know that both sprinklers combined went on and on for 45 hours, therefore whatever L and R are, L + R = 45.

we also know that the output on those 45 hours was 1050 Liters, therefore, we know that 15L + 40R = 1050.

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;L+R=45\implies \boxed{L}=45-R\\&#10;15L+40R=1050\\&#10;----------\\&#10;15\left(\boxed{45-R}  \right)+40R=1050&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;675-15R+40R=1050\implies 25R=375\implies R=\cfrac{375}{25}\\\\\\ R=15

how long was the Lopez's on for?  well, L = 45 - R.
