There are 36 drama DVD's

Solution:

Given that there are 48 DVD's of comedies and dramas on shelf

25 % of DVD's are comedies

To find: number of drama DVD's

Total number of dvd = 48

Number of comedy dvd = 25 % of 48

Let us find 25 % of 48

$\rightarrow 25 \% \text{ of } 48\\\\\rightarrow 25 \% \times 48\\\\\rightarrow \frac{25}{100} \times 48\\\\\rightarrow 0.25 \times 48 = 12$

Thus, number of comedy dvd = 12

Thus we get,

number of drama DVD's = Total number of dvd - number of comedy dvd

number of drama dvd = 48 - 12 = 36

Thus there are 36 drama dvd's

The length of a rectangular floor is twice its width. The floor is partially covered by a rectangular carpet whose length is the

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be L

Let the width be W

The length of a rectangular floor is twice its width.

So, we get $L=2W$

The length of the carpet is L

Carpet width is 2 feet less than the room, so $W=W-2$

Area of the carpet = 160 sq feet

We get :

$L(W-2)=160$

As L=2W, we get

$2W(W-2)=160$

=> $2W^{2} -4W=160$

Equating to zero, we have

$2W^{2} -4W-160=0$

Taking out 2 common

$W^{2} -2W-80=0$

=> $W^{2} -10W+8W-80=0$

=> $W(W-10)+8(W-10)=0$

We get roots as : (W-10) and (W+8)

Hence, W = 10 and W = -8(neglect this negative value)

Now, the width = 10 feet

Length = $2(10)=20$ feet

Hence, option C is the answer.

Please help me simplify 12/75 to a decimal

mr_godi [17]

For this case we have the following fraction:

$\frac{12}{75}$

Dividing the numerator and the denominator between 3 we have:

$\frac{\frac{12}{3}}{\frac{75}{3}}$

Then, multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 4 we have:

$\frac{4}{25} = \frac{4}{25} *\frac{4}{4}$

We observe that we have a number divided by 100. Therefore, we must move the comma two units to the left:

$\frac{16}{100} = 0.16$

Answer:

The number in its decimal form is given by:

$\frac{12}{75} = 0.16$

What is the slope of the line segment?

Lorico [155]

Slope of a line segment can be demonstrated as rise/run. The amount a line rises or falls, divided by the amount the line "runs" or moves from left to right. This can be calculated by choosing any two points on the line and using the equation m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solve the following -5x + 3 = 2x - 1

skelet666 [1.2K]

x=4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

get x alone.

1st get 3 on the other side of the = sign by using the opposite sign. the opposite of addition is subtraction

-5x+3=2x-1

-3 -3

-5x=2x-1-3

-5x=2x-4

now we get the xs together. the opposite of addition( the 2 is positive) is subtraction

-5x=2x-4

-2x -2x

-7x=-4

now let's get the -7 out of here. -7 is multiplying by x. the opposite of multiplication is division.

-7x = -4

-7. -7

x=-4/-7

negative divided by a negative is a positive

x=4/7
