The answer would be -25.

Before we get to the solution, we need to remind ourselves that integers are whole numbers, but they include even negative numbers.

First we need to look at least two factors of 24.

Positive:

24 x 1 = 24

12 x 2 = 24

8 x 3 = 24

6 x 4 = 24

Negative:

-24 x -1 = 24

- 12 x -2 = 24

-8 x - 3 = 24

-6 x -4 = 24

Now lets add these factors and see the sum of each of these factors:

24 + 1 =25

12 + 2 = 14

8 + 3 = 11

6 + 4 = 10

-24 + -1 = -25

- 12 + -2 = -14

-8 + - 3 = -11

-6 + -4 = -10

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: There are 12 pairs of tennis shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

For each pair of tennis shoes , she owns 4 pairs of flip flops,

so their ratio will be 1:4

Let the number of tennis shoes be x

Let the number of flip flops be 4x

According to question,

4x-x=9

3x=9

x=\frac{9}{3}

x=3

So, the number of pairs of tennis shoes is given by

$4x=4\times 3=12$

Hence, there are 12 pairs of tennis shoes.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing data is defined in the attached file please find it.

Given:

Admission Status

$\left\begin{array}{ccccc}Ethnography &Acceptable \ Approval &Waitlisted & Turned \ Away & Total\\\\ Hispanic/ Black & 51 &206&143 & 400 \\Asia &57&289&100&446\\White& 62&222&145&429\\ Total & 170& 717& 388& 1275\end{array}\right \\\\\\$

In point A:

The overall percent of applicants, which is Asia:

$= \frac{446}{1275} \\\\ = 0.3498039 \approx 34.98 \%$

In point B:

The overall percent of the students, who admitted to Asia:

$P(accepted\ Asian) = P( \frac{Placcepted \ Asian}{Asian})$

$= \frac{\frac{57}{1275}}{\frac{446}{1275}} \\\\= \frac{57}{1275} \times \frac{1275}{446} \\\\= \frac{57}{446} \\\\= 0.1278027\approx 12.78 \%$

In point C:

The Asian percentage approved:

$P(Asian/accepted) =\frac{P(accepted, Asian)}{P(accepted)}\\$

$=\frac{\frac{57}{1275}}{\frac{170}{1275}} \\\\= \frac{57}{1275} \times \frac{1275}{170} \\\\= \frac{57}{170} \\\\= 0.3352941\approx 33.52%$

In point D:

The number of all students admitted:

$=\frac{170}{1275}\\\\= 0.13333 \\\\= 13.33%$

Darya [45]

Answer:

There are 0.0328 centimeters in 1 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

To find : How many centimeters are there in 1 foot?

Solution :

1 foot = 12 inches

and 1 inch = 2.54 centimeter

So, 12 inches = $12\times 2.54$ centimeter

12 inches = 30.48 centimeter

i.e. 1 foot = 30.48 centimeter

Then, 1 centimeter = $\frac{1}{30.48}$ foot

1 centimeter = 0.0328 foot

Therefore, there are 0.0328 centimeters in 1 foot.
