Answer:

75% of the votes were in favor.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent(rate), we use the formula r=p/b

The question is "What percent(rate) of 56 is 42?"

So fill in the formula and it will show as r=42/56, which is the rate will be equal to 42 divided by 56.

Perform the calculations and the result will show 0.75

Convert the decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right and you will have 75% as your answer.

Find two consecutive integers such that one fifth of the first less one-ninth of the second is 3. Pls answer.​
mart [117]

Answer:

35 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;

  • We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.

   let the first number = x

               second number  = x + 1

  • one - fifth of first;

             \frac{1}{5}x

  •   one - ninth of the second;

            \frac{1}{9}(x + 1)

for the "less" ;

         \frac{1}{5}x -  \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3

Multiply through by 45

       45(\frac{1}{5}x) - (45) \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3 x 45

           9x - 5(x + 1) = 135

           9x - 5x -5 = 135

             4x = 135 + 5

              4x = 140

                x = 35

Now, x+1  = 35 + 1 = 36

The consecutive integers are 35 and 36

Please find the area of the figure!!
Murrr4er [49]

The figure consists of a rectangle and a circle.

first lets find the sides of the triangle

sides of the triangle are 4+4=8 and 3+1=4

therefore area of the rectangle is 8*4=32

now area of semicircle =πr^2/2 = π2^2/2=2π=6.3

we have to add the area of rectangle with the area of semicircle

this is because it the given figure no part of area of circle and rectangle are in common.

therefore total area of given figure = 32+6.3=38.3
