8/12=2/3=66.667%
(2/3)*126=84 people were happy
126-84=42 people were not happy

You could solve this using a proportion or just by common sense. 

Proportion: 8/12 = x/126

Cross multiply: 12x = 1008

1008/12 = 84

Or the common sense route is just dividing 12 by 8 then multiplying the answer by 126. Either way, you get the same answer. Hope this helps! :)

Select the correct answer. Anna learns in her science class that the human eye blinks an average of 4,200,000 times a year. What
vivado [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 4.2E6 because when putting a number into scientific notation, you would want one number in front of the decimal place and then the trailing numbers would follow. The exponent or E stand for how many numbers are after the decimal, which in this case would be 6.  

4,200,000 → 4.2 x 10^6 which is equal to saying 4.2E6

Tip: If the exponent is negative than the decimal would go in the opposite direction. For example:

4,200,000 → 4.2 x 10^-6 would not equal each other because 4.2 x 10^-6 means 0.000004, six numbers would be behind the decimal.
