Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be number of females in the course

Number of males= 5x

total number of students= 5x+x

                                         = 6x

Fraction of male students= number of male students/total number of students

                                         = 5x/6x

                                         = 5/6

Answer:

5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M represents the Male and F represents the Female.

As per the statement:

There are 5 times as many males as females on the maths course at university.

Therefore M = 5F

Total number of person on the maths course = M + F = 5F+ F = 6F

Find the fraction of the course are male;

fraction of the course are male = Number of Males on the math course ÷ Total number of person on the course.

Substitute the given values we have;

fraction of the course are male = 5F/6F = 5/6

Hence, the fraction of the course are male is 5/6.

Jackson and Jonah are both swimming. Jackson swims at 1350 meters per hour. Jonah swims at a speed of 1250 millimeters per secon
Vladimir [108]

For this question we will use the following relations.

100 centimeters=1 meter (or 1 centimeter= 0.01 meter)

10 millimeter=1 centimeter (or 1 mm=0.1 cm)

60 minutes = 1 hour (or 1 min=\frac{1}{60} hour)

Now, Jackson's speed is 1350 meters per hour. This can be converted to cm per minute as follows:

\frac{1350 m}{1 h}=\frac{1350\times 100 cm}{60 min}=2250 cm/min...Equation 1

Likewise, Jonah's swim speed in cm/min can be calculated as:

\frac{1250 mm}{1 s}=\frac{1250\times 0.1 cm}{\frac{1}{60}min } =\frac{125\times 60 cm}{1 min}=7500cm/min...Equation 2

As we can see clearly after comparing Equation 1 and Equation 2, Jonah's swim speed of 7500 cm/min is faster than that of Jackson.

Thus, option B is correct.

kenzie bought a shirt for $18. the next day she saw the shirt was selling for 24.60. what is the percent increase
Luba_88 [7]
You are trying to solve what percent of the difference between $26.60 and $18 is of $24.60, so:

$24.60 - $18 = $6.60

24.60x = $6.60
x = 6.60/24.60
x = 0.2683

So the percent increase is 26.83%
