Answer:

(a) 15/3 = 100/x

(b) There are 20 toddlers in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The total number of students is 100% of the students.

Let the total number of students be x.

15% of students is to 3 as 100% of students is to x.

15/3 = 100/x

(b)

15/3 = 100/x

Cross multiply the equation.

15x = 3 * 100

15x = 300

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 20

Answer: There are 20 toddlers in the class.

PLZ HELP ASAP The numbers of motor vehicle fatalities in the United States for the years 2010 and 2011 are listed in the table b

Nonamiya [84]

To find which measure of variability is greater and which average number of monthly fatalities is higher, you will need to calculate the mean and the mean absolute deviation for both years

The mean will tell us which is generally higher, and the mean absolute deviation will tell us which has a greater variability.

The correct answer is D.

Please see the attached picture for the work.

What is the perimeter of △ABC?

timofeeve [1]

<h3>Given</h3>

ΔABC
A(-3, -1), B(0, 3), C(1, 2)

the length of the perimeter of ΔABC to the nearest tenth

<h3>Solution</h3>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. The length of each side can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Effectively, each pair of points is treated as the end-points of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs parallel to the x- and y-axes. The leg lengths are the differences betweeen the x- and y- coordinates of the points.

The difference of the x-coordinates of segment AB are 0-(-3) = 3. The y-coordinate difference is 3-(-1) = 4. So, the leg lengths of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is segment AB are 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem tells us

... AB² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

... AB = √25 = 5

You may recognize this as the 3-4-5 triangle often introduced as one of the first ones you play with when you learn the Pythagorean theorem.

LIkewise, segment AC has coordinate differences of ...

... C - A = (1, 2) -(-3, -1) = (4, 3)

These are the same leg lengths (in the other order) as for segment AB, so its length is also 5.

Segment BC has coordinate differences ...

... C - B = (1, 2) -(0, 3) = (1, -1)

The length of the line segment is figured as the root of the sum of squares, even though one of the coordinate differences is negative. The leg lengths of the right triangle used for finding the length of BC are the absolute value of these differences, or 1 and 1. Then the length BC is

... BC = √(1² +1²) = √2 ≈ 1.4

So the perimeter of the triangle ABC is

... AB + BC + AC = 5 + 1.4 + 5 = 11.4 . . . . perimeter of ∆ABC in units

Please be aware that the advice to "round each step" is <em>bad advice,</em> in general. For real-world math problems, you only round the final result. You always carry at least enough precision in the numbers to ensure that there will not be any error in the final rounding.

In this problem, the only number that is not an integer is √2, so it doesn't really matter.

Answer:

1. Their ages are:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8

2. Their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11

3. Their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9

4. Their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the assumption that:

S = Steve's age

A = Anne's age

In four years, we are going to have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we had:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (2)

Substitute S from (2) into (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6 = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, we have:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8.

2. We make the assumption that:

M = Max's age

B = Bert's age

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (3)

A year from now, it will be:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (4)

Substitute M from (4) into (3) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

If we substitute B = 11 into equation (4), we will have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11.

3. We make the assumption that:

S = Sury's age

B = Billy's age

Now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (5)

Next year, it will be:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (6)

Substituting S from equation (5) into equation (6) and solve for B, we will have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (5), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9.

4. We make the assumption that:

M = The man's age

S = His son's age

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (7)

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (8)

Substituting M = 3S from (7) into (8) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (7), we have:

M = 3 * 10 = 30

Therefore, their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Can you solve this? I need help. I don't understand.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

2 sqrt(5) OR 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to know Pythagorean theorem to solve this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

To use this theorem you have to have a right triangle. There are two right triangles in your image. The lower (larger) one has two sides labeled, so you can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. There's a short cut, bc some right triangles have easy-to-memorize lengths of the sides. 3-4-5 is one of these number sets. A multiple of this is 6-8-10. We could've solved:

b^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

But it would've come out the same. The unlabeled side is 6.

We can use the 6 and the 4 on the smaller right triangle and use the Pythagorean thm again to solve for x.

4^2 + x^2 = 6^2

16 + x^2 = 36 subtract 16 from both sides.

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt 20

x = 2 sqrt(5) which is approximately 4.472.

2 sqrt(5) is an exact answer if that is what they are asking for. 4.472 is an approximation to the nearest thousandth. It would be 4.47 to the nearest hundredth or 4.5 to the nearest tenth.
