Answer:

The total number of pants in Mary's closet = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

40% of slacks in her closet = 6 pairs

Let us assume the total pants in her closet = m

So, according to the given data:

40% of m = 6 pairs

$\implies \frac{40}{100} \times m = 6\\\implies m = 6 \times \frac{100}{4} = 15$

⇒ m = 15

Hence the total number fo pants in her closet = 15

Complete the square to make a perfect square trinomial. Then, write the result as a binomial squared. q2+11q

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$(q+\frac{11}{2})^2-\frac{121}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression $q^2+11q$ . We are asked to complete the square to make a perfect square trinomial. Then, write the result as a binomial squared.

We know that a perfect square trinomial is in form $a^2+2ab+b^2$ .

To convert our given expression into perfect square trinomial, we need to add and subtract $(\frac{b}{2})^2$ from our given expression.

We can see that value of b is 11, so we need to add and subtract $(\frac{11}{2})^2$ to our expression as:

$q^2+11q+(\frac{11}{2})^2-(\frac{11}{2})^2$

Upon comparing our expression with $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ , we can see that $a=q$ , $2ab=11q$ and $b=\frac{11}{2}$ .

Upon simplifying our expression, we will get:

$(q+\frac{11}{2})^2-\frac{11^2}{2^2}$

$(q+\frac{11}{2})^2-\frac{121}{4}$

Therefore, our perfect square would be $(q+\frac{11}{2})^2-\frac{121}{4}$ .

A school has 1200 students 1/3 are in the upper school. 2/5 in the middle school and the remainder in lower school. How many stu

seraphim [82]

Answer:

257 students in the lower school

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to make the fractions have an equal denominator so make 1/3 5/15s and 2/5 to 6/15's, 5+6= 11/15s that leaves 4/15's for the lower part of the school

4 divided by 15 is 4.6 repeating so divide 1200 by 4.66 and boom
