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

3. Convert 150 yards per minute to feet per day.
vesna_86 [32]

One day has 24 hours.

One hour has 60 minutes.

One day has 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes.

1 yard is 3 feet.

150 yards x 3 = 450 feet.

150 yards per minute = 450 feet per minute.

450 x 1440 = 648,000 feet per day.

Can y’all plz help me ?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation

The first box has eight x's and six 1's which means that it would be written as 8x+6

The second box has four x's and fourteen -1's which means that it would be written as 4x-14

You set them equal to one another

8x+6=4x-14

You subtract 4x from both sides

4x+6=-14

Subtract 6 on both sides

4x=-20

Divide 4 on both sides

x=-5

Hope it helps :))
