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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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

Answer:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
x-(3*x^3+8*x^2+5*x-7)=0
Step by step solution :Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : x-((((3•(x3))+23x2)+5x)-7) = 0 Step 2 :Equation at the end of step 2 : x - (((3x3 + 23x2) + 5x) - 7) = 0 Step 3 :Step 4 :Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-3x3 - 8x2 - 4x + 7 =
-1 • (3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7)
Checking for a perfect cube :
4.2 3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
4.3 Factoring: 3x3 + 8x2 + 4x - 7
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: 3x3 - 7
Group 2: 8x2 + 4x
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (3x3 - 7) • (1)
Group 2: (2x + 1) • (4x)

Please 5 star and like. Appreciated

What is the mean of this data set? {6, 11, 5, 2, 7} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mean is 6.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "mean" is the same thing as the "average". Essentially, the question is asking for the average of the numbers.

So:

Add up all of the terms. [6 + 11 + 5 + 2 + 7] = 31

You find the average by dividing the sum of the terms (31) by the number of terms (5).

31/5 = 6.2

The mean is 6.2.

I hope this helped! :)

2 plez!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!!??!?!?! I can’t figure it out I’ve tried everything it’s due tomorrow AHAHAHAH
harkovskaia [24]
So to do this one, you have to do the problem backwards!

The equation looks like this with everything plugged in:

272.2 = 2(3.14)r

You are looking for r, so start dividing

272.2 = 2(3.14)r
136.1 = (3.14)r
43.3 = r

Therefore the radius is about 43.3 in.

I hope I helped!
