Answer:

The team needs to win 15 races today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The team has completed 45 races so far and has won 30 so far.

The current success rate is

r = \frac{30}{45} * 100\% = 66.7\%

We need this success rate to be 75%

Then the team must win a number x of races such that

r = \frac{30 + x}{45 + x} = 0.75

Now we solve the equation for x.

\frac{30 + x}{45 + x} = 0.75\\\\30 + x=0.75(45 +x)\\\\30 + x=0.75(45) +0.75x\\\\x- 0.75x = 33.75-30\\\\0.25x = 3.75\\\\x= \frac{3.75}{0.25}\\\\x=15

Finally the team need to win  15 carreras today

Danni thinks of a number. She subtracts 2 then multiples the result by 8. The answer is the same as subtracting 5 from the numbe
Elena L [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number=x

8(x-2)=16(x-5)

divide by 8

x-2=2(x-5)

x-2=2x-10

2x-x=-2+10

x=8

Two balls A and B rotate along a circular track. Ball A makes 4 full rotations in 120 seconds. Ball B makes 3 full rotation in 6
lara [203]
Find the rate in which both balls make one full rotation around the track.

Ball A:

120 / 4 = 30

It takes 30 seconds for Ball A to make a full rotation.

Ball B:

60 / 3 = 20

It takes 20 seconds for Ball B to make a full rotation.

Find the least common multiple of 20 and 30 to find the time at which they'll meet.

Multiples of 20: {20,40,60}
Multiples of 30: {30,60}

60 is the least common multiple of both 20 and 30.

The balls will meet again at 60 seconds.
