Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of sixth graders

To do this, add the number of girls and boys together

girls+boys

There are 60 girls and 90 boys

60+90

150

Now, find the percent of sixth graders that are boys

To do this, divide the number of boys by the total number of sixth graders

boys/total sixth graders (part/whole)

There are 90 boys, and 150 total sixth graders

90/150

0.6

Convert to a percent. Multiply by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the right

0.6*100=60

0.6-->6.0-->60.

So, 60% are boys

Find the average distance each data value in the set is from the mean.

olga55 [171]

To find the mean, you have to add all of the data together and divide by the amount of data sets there are. 2010+2002+2005+2007+2001=10025
10025 divided by 5 sets of data is 2005.
The mean or average is 2005

The area of a rectangle is 42 ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 5 ft more than twice the width. Find the dimensions

stira [4]

Answer:

<h3>Length = 12 ft</h3>

Width = $\frac{7}{2} ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of rectangle = $42 \: {ft}^{2}$

Width = X

Length = 2x + 5

Now,

$x(2x + 5) = 42$

$2 {x}^{2} + 5x = 42$

$2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 42 = 0$

$2 {x}^{2} + 12x - 7x - 42 = 0$

$2x(x + 6) - 7(x + 6) = 0$

$(2x - 7)(x + 6) = 0$

Either

$2x - 7 = 0$

$2x = 0 + 7$

$2x = 7$

$x = \frac{7}{2}$

Or,

$x + 6 = 0$

$x = 0 - 6$

$x = - 6$

Negative value can't be taken.

So, width = $\frac{7}{2} ft$

Again,

Finding the value of length,

Length = $2x + 5$

$2 \times \frac{7}{2} + 5$

$7 + 5$

$12$

Length = 12 ft

450 g in the ratio 2:13

jonny [76]

450 g in 2:13

<u>Total proportion asked for </u>=2+13=15

<u>Now comparing g with ratio, or whatever </u>

450/15=30g $\implies$ Therefore 1 in ratio depicts of 30g

So final answer = $\boxed{60g : 390g}$

$\huge\mathfrak\colorbox{white}{}$

More to know, daily bit of knowledge: The Binomial Theorem:

$\boxed{{(a+b)} ^n= \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k} a^{n-k}b^{k}}$
