Answer: The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced=1/11


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: To calculate the number of boys last year.

According to the question,

The number of boys last year= 400+95

The number of boys last year=495

Step 2: To calculate the number of girls this year.

According to the question,

The number of girls this year= 400 + 400*1/5

The number of girls this year= 480

Step 3: To calculate the number of boys this year.

According to the question,

The number of boys this year= 480 – 30

The number of boys this year=450

Step 4: To calculate the fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced.

The number of boys reduced= the number of boys last year - the number of boys this year

The number of boys reduced= 495 - 450 = 45

The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced  

= The number of boys reduced/the number of boys last year

Therefore,

The fraction by what the number of boys had been reduced= 45/495= 1/11

Answer:

1/11

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of boys in school last year will be 400+95=495.

We are told that next year number of girls increased by 1/5. Next year number of girls in the school will be 400+400*\frac{1}{5} =400+80=480.

We are told that next year number of boys was 30 less than number of girls. So next year number of boys will be 480-30=450.

To find the factor at which number of boys reduced we will find the difference of number of boys between both years and divide by initial number of boys.

\frac{495-450}{495} =\frac{45}{495}  

\frac{1}{11}

Therefore, number of boys had been reduced by 1/11.

37. Two years ago, Bob flew 6 x 105 miles in an airplane. This was 15 times as many
gogolik [260]

Answer:

  A.  4·10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you ...

  6×10⁵ miles = 15 × (last year's mileage)

Dividing by 15 gives ...

  (60×10⁴ miles)/15 = (last year's mileage) = 4×10⁴ miles

_____

<em>Further explanation</em>

An exponent is an indication of repeated multiplication.

  10⁵ = 10·10·10·10·10 = 100,000

We can use the associative property of multiplication to rewrite the number of miles:

  6×10⁵ = 6·(10·10·10·10·10) = 600,000 = (6·10)·(10·10·10·10) = 60×10⁴
