Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:
n = 600/5 = 120.
The proportion of gold bars is given by:
p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30
Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:
nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

20 students.
40% are boys. (40/100)*20 = 0.4 * 20 = 8 boys.
Girls= 20 - 8 = 12 girls.
25% of the boys wear glasses. = (25/100)*8 = 0.25*8 = 2 boys wear glasses.
50% of the girls wear glasses. = (50/100)*12 = 0.50*12 = 6 girls wear glasses.
Total students that wear glasses = 2 + 6 = 8 students.
8 students wear glasses.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If AB = 5 , then AE = 5 [Radii of the same circle]
So,
AC = AE + EC
AC = 8+5
AC = 13 units
Now, Using Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side i.e. BD because tangent strikes the circle at 90 degrees making the triangle a right angled triangle
Where c = AC , a = BD and b = AB
169 = BD² + 25
Subtracting 25 to both sides
169 - 25 = BD²
BD² = 144
Taking square root on both sides
BD = 12 units
