Elis [28]

Answer:

The total number of registered doctors was 192,473.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

53700 is 27.9% = 0.279. The total number of registered doctors is x, which is 100% = 1. So

53700 doctors - 0.279

x doctors - 1

$0.279x = 53700$

$x = \frac{53700}{0.279}$

$x = 192473.11$

Rounding to the nearest whole number.

The total number of registered doctors was 192,473.

Lúcia is using energy at a rate of 420 kilocalories (kcal) per hour (h) ice skating.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

7000 cal/min

Step-by-step explanation:

It is mentioned that, Lucia is using energy at a rate of 420 kilo calories per hour ice skating

We know that,

1 kilo calories = 1000 calories

Using unitary method :

420 kilo calories = 420,000 calories

Also,

1 hour = 60 minutes

In this case, Lucia is using energy per 60 minutes = 420,000 calories. So,energy used by her per minute is :

$E=\frac{420000}{60} =7000 calories$

Hence, Lucia is using 7000 calories per minute.

1/2x+1/4y=6. 1/5x+1/3y=1

$\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{4}y=6 \ \ \ |\times 2 \\
\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{3}y=1 \ \ \ |\times (-5) \\ \\
x+\frac{1}{2}y=12 \\
\underline{-x-\frac{5}{3}y=-5} \\
\frac{1}{2}y-\frac{5}{3}y=12-5 \\
\frac{3}{6}y-\frac{10}{6}y=7 \\
-\frac{7}{6}y=7 \\
y=7 \times (-\frac{6}{7}) \\
y=-6 \\ \\
x+\frac{1}{2}y=12 \\
x+\frac{1}{2} \times (-6)=12 \\
x-3=12 \\
x=12+3 \\
x=15 \\ \\
\boxed{(x,y)=(15,-6)}$
