Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 450

20 % are girls

So, number of girls = 20\% \times 450

                               = \frac{20}{100} \times 450

                               = \frac{1}{5} \times 450

                               = 90

Now let no. of students having mobile phones be x

So, number of students not having mobile phones = 450-x

Now we are given that  A group of students have mobile phones with them, of which 40% are girls

So, This implies 60% of boys out of x having mobile phones.

So, number of girls having mobile phone =\frac{40}{100}x

Now we are given that Of those students without a mobile phone, only 10% are girls

So, number of girls not having mobile phone =\frac{10}{100}(450-x)

So, total number of girls :

= \frac{40}{100}x+\frac{10}{100}(450-x)=90

= 4500-10x+40x=9000

= 4500+30x=9000

= 30x=4500

= x=\frac{4500}{30}

= x=150

So, Number of boys having mobile phone =\frac{60}{100} \times 150

                                                                       =90

Hence there are 90 boys have mobile phones in that room.

Answer:

216 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

450 students: 20% girls, 80% boys

450*20%=90 girls

450*80%=360 boys

Students having mobile phones: 40% (OF THE 90) girls, 60% (OF THE 360) boys

90*40%=36 girls

360*60%=216 boys

[We honestly don't need to care about the girls without mobile phones as they are only asking how many boys have mobile phones]

Here is the question !
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Co-ordinates of F, G and H are:

F (-4, 5)

G (1, 10)

H (-9, 10)

You can find the lengths of sides by using the distance formula:

<em>length</em>(FG) = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}} = \sqrt{(1-(-4))^{2} + (10-5)^{2}} = 5\sqrt{2} units

Similarly,

<em>length</em>(GH) = 10 units

<em>length</em>(HF) = 5\sqrt{2} units

Hence, perimeter will be:

P = <em>length</em>(FG) + <em>length</em>(GH) + <em>length</em>(HF) = 10(\sqrt{2} + 1) units

What is the slope of any line perpendicular to y=-1/3x+22
STatiana [176]
Answer:
The slope of any line perpendicular to the given line is 3

Explanation:
The general form of the linear line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope
The given line is:
y = -1/3 x + 22
Comparing the given line with the general form, we will find that:
slope of the given line (m1) is -1/3

Now, for any two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be equal to -1.
This means that:
m1 * m2 = -1
We have m1 = -1/3
Therefore:
-1/3 * m2 = -1
m2 = 3*1
m2 = 3

Hope this helps :)
