Out of the 100 people in the sample, 72% said they preferred pizza. That 72% should be the same for the whole school.
1500 × .72 = 1080
about 1080 students in the school prefer pizza
A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9m + 13 = 4
subtract 13 from both sides
9m = 4 - 13
9m = - 9
divide both sides by 9
m = - 1 (negative 1)
Answer:
5/hypotenuse, the square root of 7/ leg
Step-by-step explanation:
3^2+4^2=25 or 5^2. you use a^2+b^2=c^2. it would be one of the hypotenuses. If the missing number is a leg, you would do 4^2=3^2+x^2. 16=9+x^2, 7=x^2, so you plug in the numbers differently.
