Answer:

Superintendent of the region will select approximately 4 Science teachers in the board.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of math teachers = 40

Number of English teachers = 45

Number of Science teachers = 27

Number Social Studies teachers = 32

Number of teachers to be selected in the board =20

We need to find the number Science teachers should be selected in the board.

Solution:

First we ill find the Total number of teachers.

Now we can say that;

Total number of teachers is equal to sum of Number of math teachers, Number of English teachers,Number of Science teachers and Number Social Studies teachers

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of teachers = 40+45+27+32=144

Probability of Science teacher can be calculated by Dividing Number of Science teacher by Total number of teachers.

P(S)=\frac{27}{144}=0.1875

Now  the number of Science teachers should be selected in the board we need to multiply P(S) with Number of teachers to be selected in the board.

framing in equation form we get;

number of Science teachers should be selected in the board = 0.1875\times 20=3.75\approx4

Hence We can say that;

Superintendent of the region will select approximately 4 Science teachers in the board.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer

Find out the  how much did each student recieve .

To prove

Let us assume that  each student earned in the bake sell be x .

As given

Three students earned $48.76 at the bake sell.

The students split the earnings evenly i.e earning is divided into three equal parts .

Than the equation becomes

x = \frac{48.76}{3}

Solving the above

x = $16.25(approx)

Therefore the  each student recieve $16.25(approx) .

Hence proved

No comprendo. I'm doing a test review and I'm screwed​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 53 = 4/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 53 = 4/x *x

x sin 53 = 4

Divide each side by sin 53

x sin 53 / sin 53 = 4 / sin 53

x = 4 /sin 53

x = 5.008542633

To the nearest whole number

x = 5

A survey was given to 339 people asking whether people like dogs and/or cats.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a Venn diagram.  One circle is the people who like dogs, and one circle is the people who like cats.  The overlap is people who like both dogs and cats.

190 people in the survey said they like dogs.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

141 people in the survey said they like cats.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

If we simply add the two numbers together, we'll be counting the overlap twice.  So to find the total number of people who like dogs or cats, we have to subtract one overlap.

dogs or cats = 190 + 141 − x

Therefore:

190 + 141 − x + 88 = 339

419 − x = 339

x = 80

80 people said they liked both cats and dogs.
