Roughly 88-89 citizens died in automobile accidents per day.

32,300 is the number of people in one year, so in order to find the daily count we need to divide that number by the number of days in a year, 365.

32,300 ÷ 35 ≈ 88.5

This means that roughly 88-89 citizens died in automobile accidents per day.

In a company, 80% of the workers are women. If 480 men work for the company, how many workers are there in all? Use pencil

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The total workers are 2400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In company 80% of the workers are women.

480 workers are men.

Now, to find the total workers in all.

In first way:

If women are 80%, then men would be 100-80 = 20%.

Let the total workers be $x$ .

According to question:

$20\%\ of \ x=480$

⇒ $\frac{20}{100} \times x=480$

⇒ $0.20\times x=480$

⇒ $0.20x=480$

Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:

⇒ $x=2400$ .

Total workers = 2400.

Now, in second way.

Again, let the total workers be $x$ .

According to question:

$x-80\%\ of\ x=480$

⇒ $x-\frac{80}{100}\times x=480$

On solving:

⇒ $x-0.80x=480$

⇒ $0.20x=480$

Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:

⇒ $x=2400$ .

Total workers = 2400.

Therefore, the total workers are 2400.

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Check al

Alla [95]

Let's rewrite each equation in the Slope-Intercept Form of the Equation of a Line. First, let's start with the main equation:

$\bullet \ 5x-2y=-6 \therefore y=\frac{5}{2}x+3$

Then, our options are the following:

$A) \ y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ B) \ 2x+5y=-10 \therefore y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ C) \ 2x-5y=-10 \therefore y=\frac{2}{5}x+2 \\ \\ D) \ y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5) \therefore y=-\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ E) \ y-4=\frac{5}{2}(x + 5) \therefore y=\frac{5}{2}x+\frac{33}{2}$

For two perpendicular lines it is true that the product of its slopes is:

$m_{1}m_{2}=-1$

$m_{1}m_{2}=-1 \\ \\ m_{1} \ is \ the \ slope \ of \ y=\frac{5}{2}x+3, \ that \ is, \ m_{1}=\frac{5}{2} \\ \\ Then, \ the \ slope \ of \ a \ perpendicular \ line \ is: \\ \\ m_{2}=-\frac{2}{5}$

According to this, only A) B) and D) might be the perpendicular lines we are looking for. Notice that these lines are the same. The other condition is that the line must pass through the point (5, -4). By substituting this point in the equation, we have:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ -4=-\frac{2}{5}(5)-2 \\ \\ -4=-2-2 \\ \\ \boxed{-4=-4} \ True!$

Finally, the right answer are:

$A) \ y = -\frac{2}{5}x-2 \\ \\ B) \ 2x+5y=-10 \\ \\ D) \ y+4=-\frac{2}{5}(x-5)$
