It looks as though there are 25 21-40 year-olds. 40% of 25 is 10, this is the amount that are AGAINST the increase. Therefore the ones in favor for the increase must be 25 - 10 = 15.
You should be able to follow the same process to get the 41-60 year-olds against an increase. Just be sure to read the given information carefully
Answer: B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are the options:
A There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 11 to 12 is greater than the ratio 41 to 48.
B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
C. There are more boys at Leslie's school than at Mark's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
At leslie's school the ratio of boys and girls is 11 to 12. This implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:
= 11/(11 + 12) = 11/23 = 0.4783
At Marks school the ratio of boys to girls is 41 to 48. Thus implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:
= 41 / (41 + 48) = 41/85= 0.4824
Based on the calculation, we can deduce that there are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to try to explain this as easy as possible. What I did was take the original shape and divide it by the new shape. For this question, I solved it by dividing 32(the original base) by 4(the new base) and got 8. So the scale factor of the reduction was 1/8.
The factors of a number are all whole numbers that can be multipled to get that number.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
