Cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 24
24x/6=36
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9

<span>X/6=36/24
=> here we can do cross multiplication ...
=> 24*x = 36 * 6
=> 24x = 216
=> x = 216/24
=> x = 9 ..

and you can also first reduce the numbers into their simplest forms and then solve ....

hope it helps !!!</span>

An automobile insurance company divides customers into three categories: good risks, medium risks, and poor risks. Assume that o

Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that the customer is not a poor risk = 1 - probability that the customer is a poor risk

Firstly, let’s calculate the probability of being a poor risk.

From the given data the number of poor risks = 14229-7362-1190 = 5677

So the probability of being a poor risk = 5677/14229 = 0.399

Thus, the probability that the customer is not a poor risk = 1-0.399 = 0.601 which to 2 decimal places = 0.60

The number of species of coastal dune plants in australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases. There are 34 species at 1

Bas_tet [7]

We have been given that the number of species of coastal dune plants in Australia decreases as the latitude, in °s, increases.

Further we know that there are 34 species at 11°s and 26 species at 44°s.

We can express the given information at two ordered pairs as shown below:

$(n,l)=(11,34)\text{ and }(n,l)=(44,26)$

Let us find slope of the line through these points:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{26-34}{44-11}=\frac{-8}{33}=-0.2424$

Therefore, we can write the equation of line in slope intercept form as:

$n=-0.2424l+b$

Where b is the y intercept, and we can find its value using one of the two points.

$34=-0.2424(11)+b\\34=-2.67+b\\b=34+2.67=36.67$

Therefore, the required equation of the linear function is:

$n=-0.2424l+36.67$

A scientist has 100 milligrams of a radioactive element. The amount of radioactive element remaining after t days can be determi

grandymaker [24]

The mass of the first shipment at time t is
$m_{1}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{10}}$

The mass of the second shipment at time t is
$m_{2}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t-3}{10} }$

At time t, the ratio of m₁ to m₂ is
$\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{100}{100}. \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{(t-3)/10}} \\ = \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{t/10}}. \frac{1}{(1/2)^{-3/10}} \\ = (1/2)^{3/10} \\ = 0.8123$

Therefore as a percentage,
$\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} =100*0.8123 = 81.23 \%$

Answer: B. 81.2%
