If 8 out of 20 students in a class are boys,what percent of the class is made up of boys

Mathematics
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 100 by 20. You do this because you need something out of 100 to equal a percent. (Example- 50 out of 100 is 50%)

Next you need to take the number you got from dividing (5) and multiply that with 8. This leaves you with 40/100 or 40%.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following are true statements.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Second statement is true.

The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle. The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

for first part of statement

The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle.

If the square of long side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides

then the given length can be sides of a right triangle.

Check the given length by Pythagoras Theorem.

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}----------(1)

Let c=41 and a = 7 and b=40

Put all the value in equation 1.

41^{2} =7^{2} +40^{2}

1681=49+1600

1681=1649

Therefore, the square of long side is not equal to the sum of square of other two sides, So given lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle.

for second part of statement.

The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Check the given length by Pythagoras Theorem.

Let c=20 and a = 12 and b=16

20^{2} =12^{2} +16^{2}

400=144+256

400=400

Therefore, the square of long side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides, So given the lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

Therefore, The lengths 7, 40 and 41 can not be sides of a right triangle. The lengths 12, 16, and 20 can be sides of a right triangle.

A home gardener estimates that 18 apple trees will produce an average yield of 80 apples per tree. But because of the size of th
aliina [53]

19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Number of apples, x = 18

Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree

When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).

We have:

Trees = 18 + x

The yield decreases by four apples per tree.

So, we have

Yield = 80 - 4x

So, the profit function is

P(x) = Apples * Yield

This gives

P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)

Expand the bracket

P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2

Differentiate the function

P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x

Evaluate the like terms

P'(x) = 8 - 8x

Set P'(x) to 0

8 - 8x = 0

Divide through by 8

1 - x = 0

Solve for x

x = 1

Recall that:

Trees = 18 + x

So, we have

Trees = 18 + 1

Evaluate

Trees = 19

Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

3x + 5 = x - 3
dusya [7]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = x - 3

Subtract x from each side

3x+5-x = x-3-x

2x+5 = -3

Subtract 5 from each side

2x+5-5 = -3-5

2x = -8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -8/2

x = -4
