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

Answer:

162 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is length x width x height.

6 x 3 x 4.5 = 81

Since each cube is only half a centimeter, we need to multiply this by two.

81 x 2 = 162 cubes

The number of cases of a new disease can be modeled by the quadratic regression equation y = -2x^2 + 40x + 8. What is the best p
Stels [109]

Answer:

158 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tbe quadratic regression model :

y = -2x^2 + 40x + 8

y = number of cases of a new disease

x = number of years

The predicted number of cases of a new disease in 15 years can be calculated thus ;

Put x = 15 in the equation ;

y = -2(15)^2 + 40(15) + 8

y = - 2 * 225 + 600 + 8

y = - 450 + 600 + 8

y = 158

158 cases

Mike thought of a number. He added to it to two other numbers. One of these numbers was 12 less than his number, the other was 1
Inessa [10]

Answer:

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

Number 1 = x + 12

Number 2 = x - 12

Number 3 = x

(x + 12) + (x - 12) + x = 15

x + 12 + x - 12 + x = 15

x + x + x +12 -12 = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Check:

Number 1 = 17

Number 2 = 5 -12 = -7

Number = 5

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

17 + (-7) + 5 = 15

10 + 5 = 15

15 = 15

Answer is 5
