A cross country team is made up of 65% male runners. What fraction of the team is male?

1 answer:

5 0

Percentage is the same as a fraction over 100, where the number 100 represents a 'whole'.

Therefore, if 65% are male, it means if there were 100 runners in total, 65 of them would be male, so your fraction would be 65/100.

However, you can simplify this fraction as both 65 and 100 have common factors. So you keep dividing both numbers by its factors until there are no more common factors left. This will leave you with 13/20.

Therefore your final answer is 13/20.

Please help I just need the height and area of the triangle 6th grade math

Vesna [10]

Answer:

It looks like you forgot to attach a picture.

Since I cannot answer you're question fully, it will not be a complete solution.

The formula for the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} b \cdot h$ .

Just substitute you're base and height values.

Hope this helps!!!

Problem 7

(45 pages)/(90 min) = 1/2 page per min, i.e. 1 page per 2 minutes

(60 pages)(120 min) = 1/2 page per min

Both lead to the same result, so yes they are proportional.

Their reading speed is identical.

One angle of the following triangle measures 2x. How many degrees does that angle

ella [17]

Given info:- In triangle (∆)ABC , in which ∠A = 2x, ∠B = x+15° and ∠C = 2x + 10°. Then find the value of x , also find the measure of each angles of a triangle.

Explanation:-

Let the angles be 2x, x+15 and 2x+10 respectively.

∵ Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Sum of ∠s of a ∆=180°]

→2x + x+15 + 2x+10 = 180°

→ 2x + x + 2x + 15 + 10 = 180°

→ 3x + 2x + 15 + 10 = 180°

→ 5x + 15 + 10 = 180°

→ 5x + 25 = 180°

→ 5x = 180°-25

→ 5x = 155°

→ x = 155°÷5 = 155/5 = 31.

Now, finding the measure of each angles of a ∆ABC by putting the original value of “x”.

∴ ∠A = 2x = 2(31) = 62°

∠B = x+15 = 31 + 15 = 46°

∠C = 2x + 10 = 2(31) + 10 = 62 + 10 = 72°.
