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.

Your plan was to be on the road by 9 A.M. but you did not leave the garage until 10 A.M. You then drove with the cruise control
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The average speed over the time interval from 9 A.M. to noon was of 33.33 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is given by the following equation:

v = \frac{d}{t}

From 10A.M. to noon.

You traveled at 50mph during 2 hours. So how long you traveled?

50 = \frac{d}{2}

d = 50*2

d = 100

You traveled 100 miles.

What was your average speed over the time interval from 9 A.M. to noon

From 9 A.M. to 10 A.M, you did not travel.

From 10 P.M. to noon, 100 miles.

So 100 miles during 3 hours.

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{100}{3} = 33.33

The average speed over the time interval from 9 A.M. to noon was of 33.33 mph.
