How many males and how many females would there be if the total enrollment is 15000?

Ratio is 

  90 males      15000 - x
  ------------- = ---------------
   125 fem              x

Then 90x = 1875000 - 125x, or 215x = 1875000

                                                      x = approx 8720 females
                       and 15000-8720, or 6279 males

If every male finds a dance partner, that would leave (8720-6279) females, or 2440, without dance partners.  ;(

Check:  is the male:female ratio near 90:125?

Is 6279:8720 approx equal to 90:125?

Yes.  0.72 (approx) = 0.72 (approx).

Which table represent a linear function
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The last answer is correct. (x: 1,2,3,4 ; y: -5,0,5,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear function, the rate of increase/decrease is constant (the same). For the last answer, since for every x increase, y increases by 5, it is linear and has a constant rate of change.

How to solve (2.31*10^-6)+(5.87*10^-4)
S_A_V [24]

We want to calculate the following

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}

Using the properties of exponents, we have that

10^{-6}=10^{-4}\cdot10^{-2}

So we have

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=2.31\cdot10^{-2}\cdot10^{-4}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}

So, if factor 10^-4 on the right side, we have

10^{-4}(2.31\cdot10^{-2}+5.87)

Note that

2.31\cdot10^{-2}=0.0231

Then,

5.87+2.31\cdot10^{-2}=5.87+0.0231=5.8931^{}

So we have that

2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=5.8931\cdot10^{-4}

Find the number of the different ways, for 3 students to sit on 7 seats in one row.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

Here comes the problem from Combination.

We are being asked to find the number of ways out in which 3 students may sit on 7 seats in a row. Please see that in this case the even can not be repeated.

Let us start with the student one. For him all the 7 seats are available to sit. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 7

Let us see the student second. For him there are only 6 seats available to sit as one seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 6

Let us see the student third. For him there are only 5 seats available to sit as two seat has already been occupied. Hence number of ways for him to sit = 5

Hence the total number of ways for three students to be seated will be

7 x 6 x 5

=210
