Answer:

43 questions in total

Step-by-step explanation:

the original equation with the unknown (total number of questions on the test) will look like this

$\frac{total \: number \: of \: questions \: on \: exam}{24 \: answered \: questions} = 80\%$

we know this because to work out a percentage in the 1st place you need the total ÷ number (in this case it's ÷ how many questions out of the total she did answer)

now you rearrange.

you need to move the 24 to get the total on it's own here's how you do it

$\frac{tot \: num \: of \: qs}{24} \times 24 = 80\% \times 24$

what you do to one side of equation you have to do to the other. the 24 and 24 on the left will cancel because 24÷24=1 and we don't write

got mum of Q's x 1= 80 x 24

now you convert % to decimal

$80\% \times 100 = 0.80$

replace

$tot \: num \: qs \: = 24 \times 0.80 = 19$

now you take the original and + the 19

$24 + 19 = 43$

therefore there are a total of 43 questions on the exam

A deck is in the shape of a square. The area of the deck is 576 swuare feet. which is the length of each side of the deck

NNADVOKAT [17]

A) 24

All side lengths of a square are equal so you take the square root of 576 to get two 24. If you try it back: 24*24 (w*h) to get 576.

Answer number 1 please.

Minchanka [31]

$\sf {a}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

Formula :

Base²= Hypotenuse² - Perpendicular ²

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} =169 - 25$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a}^{2} =144$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = \sqrt{144}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = \sqrt{12 \times 12}$

$\\ \\$

$\hookrightarrow\sf {a} = 12$

Remember the a² in formula has nothing to do with the a we have to find. :)

Annita, Gary, and Tara all run races. Annita has 7 less than 4 times the number of race medals as Tara. Gary has 13 more than 2

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

4 t - 7 = 2 t+ 13 is the required equation.

The number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of medals Tara has = t medals

So, the number of medal Anita has = 4( Medals of Tara) - 7

= 4t - 7

And the number of medals Gary has = 2 times (Medals of Tara) + 13

= 2(t) + 13 = 2t + 13

Now, Annita and Gary has same number of medals.

⇒ 4t - 7 = 2t+ 13

or, 4t - 2t = 7 + 13

⇒ 2t = 20

⇒ t = 20/2 = 10

or t = 10

Hence, the number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals
