If there are 3 boys for every 4 girls in the choir, how many boys are there if there are 42 students?

1 answer:

3 0

So if there are 3 boys to every 4 girls, and there are 42 boys, the answer would be 42 to 56????? I'm not quite sure, and it's probably wrong, but that's how we learned in my school.

How does the order of the numbers affect the product in multiplication problems

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Uneffected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the numbers doesn't affect the product in multiplication problems.

For example, we need to multiply 2 × 10.

We can write it as : 2×5×2

2×(5×2) = 2×10 = 20

Also,

(2×5)×2 = 10×2 = 20

Hence, it will remain unaffected when we multiply numbers.

Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items from a certain factory are detective. One month, 4000 items are checke

telo118 [61]

Given that 4000 items are checked in one month, let the number of detective items be represented as y.

Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items in the factory are detective. This implies that

$\text{Number of }\det ective\text{ items = }\frac{\text{0.026}}{100}\times\text{Total number of items checked}$

When 4000 items are checked, we have the number of detective items to be evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} \text{Number of }\det ective\text{ items = }\frac{\text{0.026}}{100}\times\text{Total number of items checked} \\ y=\frac{0.026}{100}\times4000 \\ \Rightarrow y=1.04 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the number of detective items is 1.04.
