You could turn the fraction into a decimal and then see which is bigger
Answer:
200 students were in the program
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent should know how to figure ...
170/85% = total/100%
This is the same as ...
total = 170/0.85 = 200
200 students were in the program.

<em>Critical Thinking</em>
There are three declarative statements here. <em>There is no question</em>. We have made up a question to answer.
Another possible answer to the non-question could be, "The parent can ask his student how many students were in the program."
Step-by-step explanation:
radius of sphere, rs
radius of cylinder, rc
height of cylinder, h
given: h = rs = rc =r..eq1
volume of cylinder, vc = 27pi ft...eq2
volume of cylinder, vc = pi × rc^2 × h...eq3
volume of sphere, vs = 4/3(pi×rs^3)...eq4
subst for h & rs from eqn 1 in eqn 3...
vc = pi x r^2 x r= pi x r^3...eqn 5
subst for vc from eqn 2 in eqn 5...
=> 27 pi ft = pi x r^3
=> 27 = r^3
=> r = 3ft...eqn 6
subst for rs from eqn 1 in eqn 4
vs = 4/3 (pi x r^3)...eqn7
subst for pi x r^3 from eqn 5 in eqn 7
vs = 4/3 vc = 4/3 (27pi ft) = 36 pi ft
Let's solve the equation 2k^2 = 9 + 3k
First, subtract each side by (9+3k) to get 0 on the right side of the equation
2k^2 = 9 + 3k
2k^2 - (9+3k) = 9+3k - (9+3k)
2k^2 - 9 - 3k = 9 + 3k - 9 - 3k
2k^2 - 3k - 9 = 0
As you see, we got a quadratic equation of general form ax^2 + bx + c, in which a = 2, b= -3, and c = -9.
Δ = b^2 - 4ac
Δ = (-3)^2 - 4 (2)(-9)
Δ<u /> = 9 + 72
Δ<u /> = 81
Δ<u />>0 so the equation got 2 real solutions:
k = (-b + √Δ)/2a = (-(-3) + √<u />81) / 2*2 = (3+9)/4 = 12/4 = 3
AND
k = (-b -√Δ)/2a = (-(-3) - √<u />81)/2*2 = (3-9)/4 = -6/4 = -3/2
So the solutions to 2k^2 = 9+3k are k=3 and k=-3/2
A rational number is either an integer number, or a decimal number that got a definitive number of digits after the decimal point.
3 is an integer number, so it's rational.
-3/2 = -1.5, and -1.5 got a definitive number of digit after the decimal point, so it's rational.
So 2k^2 = 9 + 3k have two rational solutions (Option B).
Hope this Helps! :)
