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

What is the volume of the prism
almond37 [142]

The volume of a rectangular prism or cube is: Length × Width × Height

In this case,

- the length of the prism is 2 feet

- the width of the prism is 1.5 feet

- the height of the prism is 1.5 feet

Multiply the above to find the volume: 2 × 1.5 × 1.5 = 4.5 ft³

Keep in mind that volume is represented in cubic units!

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP :)))))))))

Answer:

(1) x= −1 /2 y+ 5 /2

(2) x= −1 /2 y−2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>(1)</u> 2x+y=5

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

2x+y+−y=5+−y

2x=−y+5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = (−y+5)/2  

x= −1 /2 y+ 5 /2

<u>(2) </u>Step 1: Flip the equation.

−2x−4=y

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−2x−4+4=y+4

−2x=y+4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x /−2 = (y+4) /−2

x= −1 /2 y−2
