Answer:

Percentage*used=\frac{100m}{n}\\ Percentage*left=\frac{100(n-m}{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally wiht number you would just have to do a rile of thirds, but in this case you need to used the values and to think a little outside the box.

YOu knwo that the total number of gallons is "n".

And the used gallons is "m"

To calculate the percentage used you use the next rule of three and clear for "x".

\frac{n}{100} \frac{m}{x}\\ x=\frac{100m}{n}

so that would be the expression for gallons used, the remaining gallons expression would be (n-m), so we do the same rule of three but witht the remaining gallons expression:

\frac{n}{100} \frac{n-m}{x}\\ x=\frac{100(n-m}{n}

And that would be the expression for percentage of gallons left.

A doctor gives a patient a 6060​% chance of surviving bypass surgery after a heart attack. if the patient survives the​ surgery,
DENIUS [597]
Let BS be the event that the patient survives bypass surgery. Let H be the event that the heart damage will heal. Then P(BS) = 0.60, and also we have a conditional probability: GIVEN that the patient survives, the probability that the heart damage will heal is 0.5, that is P(H|BS) = 0.5 We want to know P(BS and H). Using the formula of the conditional probability: P(H and BS) = P(H|BS)·P(BS) = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3

A 4 meter ladder leans against a house forming a
Ket [755]

Answer:

2.meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of ladder = 4 m

θ = 30°

To obtain h;

Using Pythagoras rule :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Hypotenus = 4 ; opposite = h

Sin 30 = h / 4

0.5 = h / 4

h = 0.5 * 4

h = 2 m

Hence, distance between th efoot of ladder and the base of the wall is 2 m

An architect wants an artistic flair to the house he is building, so he designs windows that are three fourths of a circle in sh
larisa86 [58]

The amount of rim needed for each window is 141.4 in

<h3>How to find the length of the outer rim?</h3>

Since the outer rim is the length of an arc, we use the formula for length of an arc of a circle.

<h3>What is an arc?</h3>

An arc is part of section of the circumference of a circle

<h3>What is the length of an arc?</h3>

So, length of arc, L = Ф/360 × 2πR where

  • Ф = central angle of arc and
  • R = radius of circle.

Gven that for the window rim

  • Ф = angle of the rim = 270° and
  • R = radius of the rim = 30 in

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation for L, we have

L = Ф/360 × 2πR

L = 270°/360° × 2π × 30 in

L = 3/4 × 2π × 30 in

L = 3/2 × π × 30 in

L = 3 × π × 15 in

L = 45π in

L = 141.37 in

L ≅ 141.4 in

So, the amount of rim needed for each window is 141.4 in
