Answer:

⅑

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represents number of males, and f represents number of females taking the maths course.

Given that number of males (m) taking the maths course is 8 times as much as number of females (f), total number of students taking the maths course (T).

Thus we can represent the information above with the following:

m = no. of males

f = no. of females

T = Total

m = 8f

T = m + f

Thus,

Total = 8f + f = 9f

==>The fraction of the course that are females = No. of females (f) ÷ Total no. of students (T)

= f/9f

Fraction of females in simplified form would be ⅑

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Y=-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope is negative since the line decreases from left to right. Starting at 0,0 we go down 4 and to the right 1 to get to the next point. Therefore the slope is the change in y over the change in x or -4/1= -4. The y intercept is 0 since it crosses the y axis at 0,0. The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y= mx+b or y= -4x

Leviafan [203]

Answer: he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The total amount of money he is to collect is;

A = 20 - 10.50 = $9.50

Let x represent the number of quarter he collected.

Then the number of fifty-cent pieces he collected will be; 30-x

Therefore we can represent it with the equation below;

0.25x + 0.50(30-x) = 9.50

0.25x + 15 - 0.50x = 9.50

0.25x = 15-9.50

x = (15-9.50)/0.25

x = 5.50/0.25

x = 22

The number of fifty-cent is equal to;

30-x = 30-22 = 8

Therefore, he collected 22 quarters and 8 fifty-cent pieces
