Answer:

50x2 =100

So the final box is 50x2 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern in this table. 5, 2, and 2. Ex. 2x5=10, 10x2 =20 on top

The pattern is the same on the bottom: 5x5 =25, 25x2=50, and 50x2 =100

So the final box is 50x2 = 100

Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.

Thereare 30 students in mr.holland's music class.if 30% of the students play in the school band,how many students in the class p

stiv31 [10]

9 students in the class play in the school band.

30% of 30
Well, when doing a percentage you first turn the percentage into a decimal (move the % two units to the left). So 30% = 0.3

In math, the word of means multiplication, so: 0.3 x 30
Which equal 9.

You can also turn the percentage into a fraction, it's really up to preference.

30/100 of 30 = 3/10 of 30 = 3/10 x 30 = 3/10 x 30/1 = 9/1 or 9

Answer: x = 2.65, y = 3.81

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC similar to PQR

1) Find the ratio of corresponding sides

2) Use that ratio to find values for x & y

1) Side AB = 2.76cm & Side PR = y cm

Side BC = x cm & Side RQ = 3.66 cm

Side CA = 3 cm & Side QP = 4.14 cm (both lengths given)

Can match 3 to 4.14 & ratio of sides in ABC to PQR= 3 /4.14

Length of sides ABC = 3/4.14 times the length of sides PQR

2) x = (3 / 4.14) * 3.66 = 2.65

Now solve for y, ABC to PQR: 2.76 = (3 / 4.14) (y )

equality property (both sides) & inverse operation to isolate y : . 2.76 ÷ (3 / 4.14) = (3 / 4.14 ) ÷ (3 / 4.14) (y)

2.76 * (4.14 / 3) = 3 / 4.14 * (4.14 / 3) (y)

(2.76 * 1.38 ) = 3.81 = y
