So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.

for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:\frac{30}{150} *100%= \frac{1}{5} *100%=20%

so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %

Originally there were 150 recruits 
30 dropped out 
the percentage of decrease would be 30/150
which can be simplified to 1/5 
1/5 as a percentage is 20%

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3  12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4   The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3  P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft  = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7  You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.

The length of a rectangular garden is represented by 3x-4 and the width is represented by 2x-5. Which of the following represent
lisabon 2012 [21]
Well area of a rectangle is given by the equation

a = L x W

Since they give us the expression for length and width we can find the expression for the area...

a = (3x - 4) x (2x - 5) or simply
a = (3x -4)(2x - 5)

Now we multiply

6x^2 - 15x - 8x + 20 =
6x^2 - 23x + 20

Your answer is C.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

C. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 10 pounds

Extension, e = 3 inches

First of all, we would determine the spring constant (k) using the following formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 3

Spring constant = 10/3

Spring constant = 3.33 pounds per inches.

Next, we would find the extension of the spring when a force of 15 pounds is applied;

F = ke

15 = 3.33 * e

Extension, e = 15/3.33

Extension, e = 4.5 inches.
