Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total pass = 65 * number of student that passed, let it be be represented by P and number of students that failed F

Total pass = 65p

And total fail = 35F

For the total pass and failure will be 53(P+F)

Equating to total pass and total fail

65P +35F = 53( P+ F)

65P+35F = 53P+ 53F

65P-53P =53F-35F

12P=18F

2P= 3F

Hence there are 3 passing scores for every 2 failure scores, hence there are a multiple of 5 scores and the same multiple of 3 passing scores.

3/5 * 100= 60%

Change x + 2y = 6 into slope-intercept form.
mart [117]

Answer:

The slope intercept form involves solving for y, such that the equation looks like this: y = mx + b, where m is a constant representing the slope of the line, and b is a constant representing the value of the y-intercept.

Starting with the equation x+2y=6 and subtracting x from both sides gives 2y =  -x + 6.

If we then divide each term by 2, we get the final result of y = -1/2x + 3.

Here we see that the slope (m) is equal to -1/2, and the y-intercept (b) is 3.

A new photocopier works 4 times as fast as an old one. When the machines work together, a university can produce all its staff m
Usimov [2.4K]

The old photocopier can make x manuals in an hour. The new photocopier can make 4x. Combined, they made 5x manuals in an hour.

In one hour they can make 1/28 of the manuals.

1/(28*5)=1/140 is the rate.

The new photocopier can make all the manuals in 4/140 or 35 hours.

The old one can make them in 140 hours.

In Scott’s backyard, he has a windmill that makes 5 ¾ of a turn every hour. How many turns does it make for 1 ½ hours?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 8 5/8 turns

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to simply to multiply the number of turns that the windmill makes per hour (5 3/4) by the time asked (1 ½ hours).

Mathematically speaking:

5 3/4 x 1 1/2 = (5x4+3)/4 x (1x2+1)/2 = 23/4 x 3/2= 69/8 or 8 5/8 (mixed form)

In conclusion, the windmill makes 8 5/8 turns in 1 1/2 hours.
