Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So \frac{72}{x+72} is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24

x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}

x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72

x = 228

Thus, the answer is 228 males.

Consider Z1= 4-4 radical 3i and Z2= -16 i. What is Z1-Z2?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Z_1=4-4\sqrt{3}i

Z_2=-16i

Z_1-Z_2=(4-4\sqrt{3}i)-(-16i)

            =4-4\sqrt{3}i+16i

            =4-(4\sqrt{3}i-16i)

            =4-4(\sqrt{3}-4)i

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.

There are 2820 cars in Farmington. The ratio of medium size cars to compacts is 7 to 5 and the ratio of compacts to full-size ca
oee [108]

Answer:

Number of full size cars = 900

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of medium size cars to compacts is 7 to 5 and the ratio of compacts to full-size cars is 8 to 9. Since compact cars are  there in both ratios , we need to  make the number in the ratio for compact cars to be the same.

\frac{medium}{compact} = \frac{7}{5}

Multiply by 8 on numerator and denominator

\frac{medium}{compact} = \frac{56}{40}

\frac{compact}{full size} = \frac{8}{9}

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5.

\frac{compact}{full size} = \frac{40}{45}

Ratio of medium, compact and full size are in ratio 56,40,45.

Total number of cars =2820.

(56 + 40 + 45)x = 2820

x = \frac{2820}{141}

x = 20

Number of full size cars = 20\times 45 =900
