The ratio of men to women working for a company is 3 to 5 . if there are 48 men working for the company, what is the total numbe

r of employees?

Hi there!

First we need to find how many women are working for the company. We can do this by using proportions. Make the ratio of men to women, 3/5, equal 48/w, where w is the number of the women working for the company.


\frac{3}{5} =\frac{48}{w}

Cross multiply.


3w = 240

Divide both sides by 3.


w = 80

There are 80 women employees.


Now add the number of male and female employees together.

48 men + 80 women = 128 employees


There are 128 employees working for the company.

Hope this helps!

Find the MIDPOINT of the following two points:
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: (2.5  ;  1.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The midpoint of the segment with the points \bf  ( x_1  \ ;  \ y_ 1) and \bf (x_2 \  ;  \ y_2)  is calculated by the formula:

  • \bf (x _0  \ \ ;  \ \ y _0) = \bigg(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2} \ ; \  \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}  \bigg)  
  • Then :
  • \bf (x_0 \  ;  \ y_ 0)=\bigg( \dfrac{3+2}{2}  \ \ ;  \dfrac{4-1}{2}  \bigg)  =( 2.5  \  \ ; \ \  1,5 )

Math Help. Greatly Appreciated
Triss [41]
So we know that the perimeter is 1260 feet and that the length is 100 more than the width, but we don't know that the width is.
So we're going to start with finding the width.
w = (x + x + 100) = 1260
from there we need to combine like terms
x + x = 2x
now we have
2x + 100  = 1260
From there, we will need to remove 100 from both sides, leaving us with
2x = 1160
now we'll need to divide both sides by 2
2x \div 2x = x
1160 \div 2 = 580
We now know that the width is 580, or more simply put, x=580.

Finding the length will be the easy part, as we know that it is just 100 more than the width
580 + 100 = 680
If you want an easier way of finding the length, just subtract the width from the perimeter.
1260 - 580 = 680
Leaving the final answer to be
Width = 580
Length = 680

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line please help me
Leni [432]

Answer:

The formula is generally represented equationally as ( y - Y1 ) = m( X - X1 ) so now let's substitute the points plotted on the graph.

it is equal to (y - 4) = m(x - 0)

and now we look for the slope

m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

which can be directly substituted according to every line connecting each x value to a certain y value.

If the sin of angle x is 4 over 5 and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value o
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Sin of x does not change

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a triangle is dilated, the angle remains the same as well as the ratio for sides of triangle. For smshapes with dimensions, when shapes are dilated the dimensions has increment with common factor.

From trigonometry,

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Where x=4/5

Sin(4/5)= opposite/hypotenose

But we were given the scale factor of 2 which means the dilation is to two times big.

Then we have

Sin(x)=(2×opposite)/(2×hypotenose)

Then,if we divide by 2 the numerator and denominator we still have

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Which means the two in numerator and denominator is cancelled out.

Then we still have the same sin of x. as sin(4/5)

Hence,Sin of x does not change

What is the step by step equation and answer?3(2x+1)=18+4x-7
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x + 1) = 18 + 4x - 7

First distribute 3 by multiplying it by 2x and 1.

= 6x + 3 = 18 + 4x - 7

Then, add any like terms.

= 6x + 3 = 11 + 4x

 -4x                -4x

= 2x + 3 = 11

         -3    -3

= 2x = 8

 /2     /2

x = 4
