yes sure, i learned this before so
1. a. make a proportion here, of percentage. if you cross multiply and divide you get 90%.
1. b. obviously the empty seats would be 10%.
2. a. proportion again, cross multiply then divide you ge 15%
3. 30% in decimal form is 0.3. multiply it then to the total amount, so 0.3 x 15 = 4.5
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:
And now, solving for x = 9 we have:
b)
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression
c)
Using the same property we used in a) we have:
And now, solving for z = 16 we have:
