You can first set up a ratio to see how many TOTAL computers are needed for a r to 12 ratio.
(5/12) = (x/924) Now cross multiply to solve. 12x = 5(924) 12x = 4620
Divide both sides by 12. x = 385
There are a total of 385 computers needed for the school to have a 5:12 ratio.
Since the school already has 125 computers subtract 385-125 = 260. They need to purchase 260 more computers.

Answer:

260 computers will be required more for 125 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given in the question school wants to have 5 computer for every 12 students.

Current number of computers are 125 and number of students are 924.

Let the number of computers is n for 924 students and the ratio of computers and students is 5 : 12

So \frac{\text{Current number of computers}}{\text{Current number of students}}=\frac{5}{12}

Therefore, \frac{x}{924}=\frac{5}{12}

x = \frac{924\times 5}{12}=385

But the number computers is = 125

Therefore, number of computers required more will be

385 - 125 = 260

260 computers will be required more for 125 students.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

→ –36 – ( –40 )

  • Whenever there is sign of subtraction before the brackets, signs of the numbers inside the brackets get changed when we removed the brackets.

  • ( – ) × ( – ) = ( + )

→ –36 + 40

→ 4

If the probability that your DVD player breaks down before the extended warranty expires is 0.034, what is the probability that
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

0.966

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability of DVD player breaking down before the warranty expires = 0.034

To find:

The probability that the player will not break down before the warranty expires = ?

Solution:

Here, The two events are:

1. The DVD player breaks down before the warranty gets expired.

2. The DVD player breaks down after the warranty gets expired

In other words, the 2nd event can be stated as:

The DVD does not break down before the warranty gets expired.

The two events here, have nothing in common i.e. they are mutually exclusive events.

So, Sum of their probabilities will be equal to 1.

\bold{P(E_1)+P(E_2)=1}\\\Rightarrow 0.034+P(E_2)=1\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=1-0.034\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=\bold{0.966}
