Answer:

\frac{272}{x}=\frac{221}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of required teachers this year.

We have been given that last year there were 221 students and 13 teachers at Hillard School. This year there are 272 students.

Since the principal wants to keep the same student-to-teacher ratio as last year, so we will use proportions to solve for x as proportions states that two fractions are equal.

\frac{\text{The number of students}}{\text{The number of teachers}}=\frac{221}{13}

Upon substituting number of students and teachers this year in our proportion we will get,

\frac{272}{x}=\frac{221}{13}

Therefore, the principal can use the proportion \frac{272}{x}=\frac{221}{13} to find the number of teachers needed this year.

What is the median of the data set: {24, 31, 12, 38, 12, 15}A)12B)19.5C)24D)23.5
QveST [7]

Answer: B: 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This data set is an even data set meaning that you're going to have to add and divide, so you put your data set in ascending order (highest # to lowest #) so 12,12,15,24,31,38 its an even data set so you're going to put them in groups (remember your finding the median, the middle numbers) so you have 12,12 (one group) and 31,38 (another group) (basically make it even!!) so now you're left with the middle numbers, you have to add them and then divide them by 2 so (15+24) ÷2 and you get your answer !!

A trapezoid has a 60-degree angle and a 45-degree angle. What are the other angles?
pentagon [3]
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral which means the sum of the angles should be equal to 360 degrees. The other angles therefore should have the sum of 360 - 60 - 45 = 255 degrees. Since we do not have the figure it would be hard to specify the measure of each angle.
