Answer:

The table C correctly shows the ratio 8:1  for each grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of students

y ----> the number of adults

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{1}

<u><em>Verify each table</em></u>

Table A

grade 6

\frac{96}{88}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(88) ----> is not true

Table B

grade 6

\frac{96}{104}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(104) ----> is not true

Table C

<u><em>grade 6</em></u>

\frac{96}{12}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(12)

96=96 ----> is true

<u><em>grade 7</em></u>

\frac{120}{15}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

120(1)=8(15)

120=120 ----> is true

<u><em>grade 8</em></u>

\frac{136}{17}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

136(1)=8(17)

136=136 ----> is true

therefore

The table C correctly shows the ratio 8:1  for each grade

Table D

<u><em>grade 6</em></u>

\frac{96}{11}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(11)----> is not true

Answer:

<em>Table C is correct</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratio or Proportion </u>

When some quantity has a value M respect to another quantity of value N, we say the ratio between them is

\displaystyle r=\frac{M}{N}

That ratio (in absolute value) can be greater than one, if M>N, less than one if M<N or 1 if they are equal

The problem states the ratio of students to adults on a field trip is 8 to 1.

We need to search in each table in which one has the correct ratio for all grades. Let's test the first table

For 6th grade, the ratio of students to adults is

\displaystyle r=\frac{96}{88}

this is far away from 8, so this table is wrong

<u>Now for the table C </u>

For grade 6 the ratio is

\displaystyle r=\frac{96}{12}=8

For grade 7

\displaystyle r=\frac{120}{15}=8

For grade 8

\displaystyle r=\frac{136}{17}=8

Since all the ratios are 8, this is the correct answer.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that this archer hits her first shot is given by t the probability of being windy and that she hits the shot added to the probability of not being windy and that she hits the shot:

P(H_{first}) = P(H_w)*P(W)+P(H_{nw})*(1-P(W))\\P(H_{first})=0.4*0.3+0.7*(1-0.3)\\P(H_{first})=0.12+0.49 = 0.61

If the probability that she hits the target on her first shot is 0.x1, the value of x is:

P(H_{first})=0.61=0.x1\\x=6

The planet Mercury is approximately 6 × 10*7 miles from the sun . the distance between the sun and Mars is approximately 2 × 10*
vodomira [7]
The answer is B

Because Mercury and the Sun are 60,000,00 miles apart and Mars is 200,000,000 miles away from the sun. Divide 200,000,000 and 60,000,000 and you will get 3.3 (Just round)
