Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1,200 students wore their school colors of green and white.

Also, we are told that 300 students did not wear school colours green and white.

Thus, total number of students = 1200 + 300 = 1500

Thus;

percent of the school population who wore their school colors is; (1200/1500) × 100% = 80%

A long time ago Dulani found an island shaped like a triangle with three straight shores of length 3 km 4 km and 5 km.He said no
VikaD [51]
To find the area of his exclusion zone you would need to understand that a triangle with dimensions of 3, 4, and 5 represent a right triangle.

This means the exclusion zone would be applied to the base and the height of the triangular space.

You would add 2 km to the 3 km, and 2 km to the 4 km to create a new height of 5 km and a new base of 6 km.

Please see the attached picture to understand this.

You will find the area of the total space created by the new triangle and subtract the space represented by the original triangle to find the area of the exclusion zone.

(1/2 x 6 x 5) - (1/2 x 4 x 3)
15 km² -6 km² equals 9 km².

The exclusion space is 9 km².

There are 100 balloons in total the ratio between the yellow and blue balloons is 8 to 12 how many are yellow
Virty [35]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.

Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.

What is the probability of rolling a sum of 3 on a standard pair of six-sided dice?
salantis [7]

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for probability is:

Probability = total number of successful events / total events

 

Where in this case, an event is considered to be successful if the sum is 3 on the pair of six sided dice.

 

First, let us calculate for the total number of events. There are 6 numbers per dice, therefore the total number of combinations is:

total events = 6 * 6 = 36

 

Next, we calculate for the total number of combinations that result in a sum of 3. We can identify that there are only two cases that result in sum of 3. That is:

1st case: first dice rolls 1, second dice rolls 2

2nd case: first dice rolls 2, second dice rolls 1

 

Hence, total number of successful events = 2. Therefore the probability is:

Probability = 2 / 36 = 1 / 18 = 0.0556 = 5.56%
