Answer:

The fraction is 470/1000, which can be simplified to 47/100, and that is 47%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you take what is asked for and you divide it by the total amount.

470 is the amount of girls as contestants.

1000 is the total amount of contestants.

And that gives you the ratio 470/1000.

Hope this helped!

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v

zhenek [66]

Answer:

(1) The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) You need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) The ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) If you need to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish, then the solution would contain 25% mineral spirit and 75% varnish.

So, $\frac{spirit}{varnish}=\frac{25}{75}$

$=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) If you use 240ml of varnish, then this quantity is 75% of the total solution or ration of varnish to the total solution will be 3:4.

Let $x$ be the quantity of total solution.

Then, $240:x=3:4$ .

⇒ $\frac{240}{x}=\frac{3}{4}$

⇒ $3x=240*4$

⇒ $x=\frac{240*4}{3}$

⇒ $x=320$

That is, total solution is 320 ml.

Now, Spirit = Total solution - Varnish

⇒Spirit = 320ml-240ml

⇒Spirit = 80ml

Hence, if you use 240 ml of varnish, you need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) Robison's tapestries all measure 1.5m long and 1m wide. First, we express dimensions in whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.

Then, dimensions are 15m long and 10m wide.

Now, Height : Width = 15:10

⇒ $\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{15}{10}$

⇒ $\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, the ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Angle of a triangle measures 115° the other two angles are in the ratio of 4:9 what are the measures of those two angles

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

20, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180 degrees interior angle measure. One angle measure 115 so that means the other two angles must add up to 65.

The remaning angles form a ratio of 4:9. This means we must split 65 into a ratio of. 4:9

A ratio partition parts of something. We can add the ratio intergers to find it full length.

4+9=13.

Divide 65/13=5.

Multiply 5x4 and 5x9 serpately.

We get 20 and 45

AB=A, B, equals Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

suter [353]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin(20 \degree) = \frac{3}{AB} \\ AB = \frac{3}{ \sin(20 \degree) } \\ AB = \frac{3}{0.342} \\ AB = 8.77$
