Answer: A=11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to get a common denominator.

You will end up with 15/12-4/12, and after solving, you get a=11/12

because 15-4 is 11. However, the denominator stays the same.

Find the center and radius of the circle with the equation. Please show work!

mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have:

$x^2-2x+y^2+4y=4\qquad\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{and}\ 2^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2x+1^2+y^2-2(-2)(y)+2^2=2(1^2)(2^2)\qquad\text{use}\ (a\pm b)^2=a^2\pm2ab+b^2\\\\(x-1)^2+(y-(-2))^2=8\\\\h=1,\ k=-2\to(1,\ -2)$

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five-eighths of the votes were for blue,

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of votes to choose a color = x

Number of votes for blue = $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

Remaining votes = x - $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{8x-5x}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{3}{8}\times x$

Votes for green = $\frac{5}{9}\times (\text{Remaining votes})}$

= $\frac{5}{9}\times \frac{3x}{8}$

= $\frac{5}{24}\times x$

Finally remaining votes = $\frac{3x}{8}-\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{9x-5x}{24}$

= $\frac{4x}{24}$

= $\frac{x}{6}$

Since these votes are for red therefore,

$\frac{x}{6}$ = 48

x = 48×6

= 288

a) Votes for blue are $\frac{5x}{8}$

Therefore, exact number for blue votes = $\frac{5\times 288}{8}$

= 5×36

= 180

b). Votes for green = $\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{5\times 288}{24}$

= 60

c). Since 25 students were absent on that day of the vote, number of students at Riverside Elementary School = 288 + 25

= 313

d). Since seven tenths of the votes for blue were made by the girls.

Therefore, number of girls voted for blue = $\frac{7}{10}\times 180$

= 7×18

= 126

Since total votes made = 288

Therefore, half of the votes made = $\frac{288}{2}$

= 144

Now it's clear that number of votes made by girls is less than half of all the votes.

e). 126 girls voted for blue.
