Answer:

No not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given information that Maya came to know that 0.63 pf Pal school is female and 0.47 of Elm school is female.

Without knowing the total number of students in each school, we cannot conclude that 0.63 is greater than 0.47

For example, say number of students in Oak school be 100, and in Elm school be 200

Females in Oak school = 0.63(100) =63

Females in Elm school = 0.47(200) = 94

We find that there are more females in Elm school

So with the information given, we cannot conclude she is correct , there are chances for her being wrong also.

How many gallons of a 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antif
konstantin123 [22]

440 gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifreeze

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the gallons of 80 % antifreeze added

Therefore, "x" gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze

Final mixture is x + 80

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

"x" gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed with 80 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get (x + 80) gallons of 70 % antifreeze

Thus, we get,

x gallons of 80 % + 80 gallons of 15 % = (x + 80) gallons of 70 %

x \times \frac{80}{100} + 80 \times \frac{15}{100} = (x+80) \times \frac{70}{100}\\\\0.8x + 80 \times 0.15 = (x+80) \times 0.7\\\\0.8x+12 = 0.7x+56\\\\0.8x-0.7x=56-12\\\\0.1x = 44\\\\x = \frac{44}{0.1}\\\\x = 440

Thus 440 gallons of 80 % antifreeze solution must be mixed

The numbers of blue, red, green and black pencils are proportional to the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. If we add the nu
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

  20 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.

The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.

_____

If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...

  (7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12

  3k = 12 . . . . simplify

  k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3

  5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils

Answer:

y + 9 = -0.4(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

in slope form , we will use y - y1 =m ( x - x1) ,

which will be y + 9 = -2/5(x-7) ,

in reduced form , we have y + 9 = -0.4(x-7)
