Answer:

The number of students who likes pizza is 696 out of 1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 58 of the 125 students likes pizza. The fraction of students who likes pizza and total students is $\frac{58}{125}$ .

Let the number of students out of 1500 who likes pizza be x. The fraction of students who likes pizza and total students is $\frac{x}{1500}$ .

Both fractions will be equivalent.

$\frac{58}{125}=\frac{x}{1500}$

$\frac{58}{125} \times 1500=x$

$58\times 12=x$

$x=696$

Therefore, the number of students who likes pizza is 696 out of 1500.

You need to find the percent of the 125 surveyed students to find the number of estimated students that like pizza.

58/125 = .464 or 46.4%

1500*.464 = 696 students like pizza.

Hope this helps!

G.O is going on a hike in the mountains on a hot summer day. He has 4/5 of water that he can split into 4 bottles. What fraction

vovangra [49]

I assume GO has 4/5 gallon of water.

If you want to split it equally into 4 bottles, you should do 4/5 /4.

Now simplify.

4/5/4=1/5

1/5 Gallon

Find an m > 0 such that the the equation x^4−(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0 has four real solutions that form an arithmetic sequence.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The value of m is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation,

$x^4-(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0$

$x^4+0x^3-(3m+2)x^2+0x+m^2=0$

Let the roots of the equation are a-3b, a-b, a+b and a + 3b, ( they must be form an AP )

Thus, we can write,

$a-3b+a-b+a+b+a+3b=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^3}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}$

$=\frac{0}{1}=0$

$\implies a=0----(1)$

$(-3b)(-b)+(-b)(b)+(b)(3b)+(3b)(-3b)+(-b)(3b)+(-3b)(b)=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^2}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}}$

$=\frac{-3m-2}{1}$

$3b^2-b^2+3b^2-9b^2-3b^2-3b^2=-3m-2$

$-10b^2=-3m-2$

$\implies b^2=\frac{3m+2}{10}-----(2)$

$(-3b)(-b)(b)(3b)=\frac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{coefficient of}x^4}= m^2$

$9b^4=m^2$

$9(\frac{3m+2}{10})^2=m^2$

$9(\frac{9m^2+4+12m}{100})=m^2$

$81m^2+36+108m=100m^2$

$-19m^2+108m+36=0$

$19m^2-108m-36=0$

$19m^2-114m+6m-36=0$

$19m(m-6)+6(m-6)=0$

$(19m+6)(m-6)=0$

$\implies m=-\frac{6}{19}\text{ or }m=6$

But m > 0,

Hence, the value of m is 6.

Billy has a die. He rolls the die, and if the result is not even, he rolls the die

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1/4 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has a die then it is 6 sided. He has a 1/2 chance the 1st time that he gets a non-even number. The next time he also has a 1/2 chance of getting an even number so it's 1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4.
