Answer:

  110

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12% studied Spanish, then 88% did not. The ratio of those who did not to those who did is ...

  88 : 12 = 22 : 3

Then the number of students who did not study Spanish is ...

   (22/3)×15 = 110 . . . . did not study Spanish

What is the quotient written in scientific notation? 6 x 10^24 /8 x 10^8
Artist 52 [7]

When you divide 6x10^24 by 8x10^8 you end up with \frac{6}{8} x10^{16}

This simplifies to 0.75x10^{16}

Now this number is not written in scientific notation as it does not have its first digit before the decimal, so we must move the decimal of this one to the right.

To do that you must multiply the number by 10.

This means that the exponet of 10 must decrease by 1.

This makes the answer 7.5x10^{15}

Nancy and Karen went on a trip to the mountain. Nancy started her trip 30 minutes later than Karen. They started from the same p
Katyanochek1 [597]
Distance = (rate)(time)
In this problem, note that both girls traveled the same distance.

Karens distance = r * 1.5 hrs          we dont know her rate
Nancy distance = 50 * 1 hr              we know she started 30 min later
                                                         but arrived at the same time

since the distances are equal
r*1.5 = 50 * 1          all you have to do is solve for r

1.5r = 50
r = 50/1.5
r = 33 1/3 miles per hour

A frame designer is making a triangular frame. She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches. What are the possible length
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above question, we have a rule, the sum of the length of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Hence:

She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches

Let the third side = x

Hence:

a) 18 + 27 > x

45 > x

b) 18 + x > 27

x > 27 - 18

x > 9

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: 11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Issac and Isaiah born weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces and 5 pounds and 4 ounces.

1 Pound is equivalent to 16 ounces

Issac weighs

\Rightarrow 6+\dfrac{2}{16}\ \text{Pounds}

Isaiah weighs

\Rightarrow 5+\dfrac{4}{16}\ \text{Pounds}

Their combined weight is

\Rightarrow 6+5+\dfrac{2}{16}+\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow 11+\dfrac{6}{16}\ or\\\\\Rightarrow 11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}
