Answer:

4 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, Line BA is divided into a total of 5 equal proportions (or intervals). Point P is placed at the 4th proportion of the divided line, also the distance between point P and point A is 1 propotion. The ratio in which point P divides the line BA is given as:

Ratio = BP : PA = 4 : 1

Ratio = 4 : 1

The part to whole ratio If point p partitions line BA = BP / BA = 4 / 5

Part to whole ratio = 4/5

Answer:

There are 232 students at the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of students at the school. We are told ...

174 = 75% × s

174/0.75 = s = 232 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of s

There are 232 students at the school.

The average grain of salt is 0.0003 meters wide. Rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is 0.00000003 meters wide. How many t

algol [13]

Answer:

$1\times 10^4\ times$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, $w=0.0003\ m$

Width of Rhinovirus is, $W=0.00000003\ m$

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

$w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

$\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w$
