Answer:

In a group of 216 people, I would expect 45 people to have a gym membership.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

90 out of 120 people said they like to work out

5 out of every 18 of the people who like to work out have a gym membership.

To Find : At the same rates, in a group of 216 people, predict how many you would expect to have a gym membership.

Solution :

Let x out of 216 like to work out

We are given that 90 out of 120 people said they like to work out

Since the rate is same for both the cases

⇒\frac{x}{216} =\frac{90}{120}

⇒x =\frac{90}{120} *216

⇒x =\frac{19440}{120}

⇒x =162

Thus 162 out 216 like to work out.

Since we are given that 5 out of every 18 has membership

So, first we need to calculate how many groups of 18 are there in 162

⇒\frac{162}{18}

⇒ 9

So, there are 9 groups of 18 in 162 people

Since we know that out of 1 group of 18 there are 5 people who has membership

So,  if there are 9 groups of 18 so there will 9*5 = 45 people who will have membership .

Hence , in a group of 216 people, I would expect 45 people to have a gym membership.

A low calorie dinner has 480 calories in an 9 ounce serving. What is the unit rate in simplest form? 9/48 160/3 48/9 3/160
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:Hi, the correct answer is \frac{160}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

 As you are being asked for rate and the importat value is the number of calories consumed. We need to simplify the fraction \frac{480 calories}{9 ounce} . Then we simplify.

Note that 480 is divisible by 3 and 9 as well. 480/3 = 160 and 9/3 = 3. Therefore, 480/9 = 160/3.

Is 4y= 2x-5 and 2x+y =3 parallel perpendicular or neither?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

4y= 2x-5

y = 1/2 x - 5/4

slope₁ = 1/2

2x+y =3

y = -2x + 3

slope₂ = -2

slope₂ = - 1 / slope₁

Pls help me<br>I m giving brainliest <br>​
navik [9.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general line equation format is

y = ax + b

a is the slope or gradient of the line. it is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".

b is the y-intercept, the y value when x = 0. we get this by putting one point into the equation and solve for b.

(i)

A (3, 5)

B (5, 9)

x changes by +2 (from 3 to 5).

y changes by +4 (from 5 to 9).

so, the slope (or gradient) is +4/+2 = 2

(ii)

the semi-finished equation is

y = 2x + b

let's use A to get b :

5 = 2×3 + b = 6 + b

b = -1

and the full equation is

y = 2x - 1

(iii)

for point (4, k) we get

k = 2×4 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
