Since there are 300 students you have to use proportions to solve the percents. First for strawberry you need to set up a proportion such as x/300=30/100 to show you are trying to find 30%of 300. Then you must cross multiply so 300 times 30 and 100 times x. Then you have 9,000 and 100, so you divide 9,000 by 100 and then you get 90 which is the portion of kids who liked strawberry flavored ice cream. You should do the exact same thing for vanilla ice cream like this: x/300=29/100 but since you’re finding 29% you need to put a 29 over 100. Then you cross multiply and do 300 times 29 and do x times 100. Which makes you get 8,700 and 100, and then you divide 8,700 by 100 and get 87 for vanilla ice cream. Lastly you need to subtract 87 from 90 since it asked how many more students liked strawberry than vanilla: 90-87=
Can you please mark branliest? Thank you!
To find 29/9 as a mixed number you need to find out how many times does 9 fit in 29
9
18
27
36
We see that it fits 3 time 3 is your whole #
We also see that 29 - 27 = 3 so you write like this:
3 3/9
The denominator of the original fraction does change

Answer: -3/4 (choice C)</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Think of a whole cake or pizza. Now slice it into 4 equal pieces. This represents 1 is the same as 4/4.
Adding on another quarter slice gets us 4/4+1/4 = 5/4
In other words, the mixed number 1 & 1/4 is the same as the improper fraction 5/4.
So 1 & 1/4 = 5/4
This then means -1 & 1/4 = -5/4 because we multiply both sides by -1.
Now we'll add on 1/2, which is the same as 2/4, like so
(-1 & 1/4) + 1/2
-(1 & 1/4) + 2/4
-(1 + 1/4) + 2/4
-1 - 1/4 + 2/4
-1 + (-1/4 + 2/4)
-1 + 1/4
-4/4 + 1/4
-3/4
which points us to choice C as our final answer
Notice how if we started at -5/4, and moved to the right 2 tickmarks, we arrive at -3/4. Each tickmark represents 1/4 of a unit, so two of them is 2/4 = 1/2.
Side note: -3/4 converts to the decimal -0.75
Answer:
-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope we use the formula, slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
We let (3,5) be the first point so, x1 = 3 and y1 = 5
We let (8,2) be the second point so, x2 = 8 and y2 = 2
Now we plug it in the formula,
slope = (2-5)/(8-3) = -3/5
