In a classroom of 32 students, 14 are male. What percentage of the class is female?

2 answers:

8 0

You know that 14/32 are boys. Divide this out and you get 0.4375, move the decimal two places to the right and you get 14/32 = 43.75%. The percentage of boys plus girls must equal 100%, so knowing that is the percentage of boys, 100% minus 43.75% must equal the percentage of girls. 100% - 43.75% = 56.25% so 56.25% is the percentage of girls in the class.

First you have to set up your fractions so:
14/32=x/100
you then cross multiply and get:
100*14=32x
then you keep solving for x:
1400=32x
(then divide both sides by 32)
x=43.75
so this means that 43.75 of the class is male so then you subtract that from 100 to get the female percentage:
100-43.75=56.25
so that means 56.25℅ of the class is female

What 4 numbers adding give you a sum of 15

alekssr [168]

Answer: 6 and 9, 7 and 8. 69, 78, 87, 96. So, there are only 4 combinations which would result in 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore the average sum of three numbers is 45:3=15. The number 15 is called the magic number of the 3x3 square. You can also achieve 15, if you add the middle number 5 three times. The odd numbers 1,3,7, and 9 occur twice in the reductions, the even numbers 2,4,6,8 three times and the number 5 once.
