The answer to this is 50 x 10 the 9th power.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Line up the numbers on the right - do not align the decimal points.
Starting on the right, multiply each digit in the top number by each digit in the bottom number, just as with whole numbers.
Add the products.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The way you have to set this up is to take the new number for the males and put it over the total for the males and females. The new number for the males / total = 3/5.
Step One
Find the total number of females
100 + 160 = 260 when 100 females have been added to the study.
Step Two
Find the number of males
The total number of males = 240 + x where x is the number of males to be added.
Step Three
Find the total for both
260 + 240 + x = Total
500 + x = Total.
Step Four
Find the ratio of males to total
(240 + x) / (500 + x) = 3/5
Step Five
Cross multiply and solve
(240 + x)*5 = (500+x)*3
1200 + 5x = 1500 + 3x Subtract 1200 from both sides.
5x = 1500 - 1200 + 3x
5x = 300 + 3x Subtract 3x from both sides.
5x - 3x = 300
2x = 300 Divide by 2
x = 300 / 2
x = 150
Check
(240 + 150 ) / (500 + 150) = ? 3/5
390 / 650 = ? 3/5
39/65 = ? 3/5 Divide the top and bottom on the left by 13
3/5 = 3/5 and it checks.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we have to get x by itself. To do this, perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.
5x+14=k
First, subtract 14 from both sides, because 14 is being added on to 5x. Subtraction is the opposite of addition.
5x+14-14=k-14
5x=k-14
Now, divide both sides by 5, because 5 and x are being multiplied. Division is the opposite of multiplication.
5x/5=k-14/5
x=k-14/5
So, the correct answer is choice B
