We will start with our guess of 12, since 12*2 = 24.
Divide 24 by 12; 24/12=2.  Average this answer with our guess:  (12+2)/2=7.  This is our new guess.
24/7=3.428571429.  Average this with our guess of 7:  (3.428571429+7)/2=5.214285715.  This is our new guess.
24/5.214285715=4.602739726.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.602739726+5.214285715)/2=4.90851272.  New guess!
24/4.90851272=4.889464766.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.889464766+4.90851272)/2=4.898988743.  New guess!  You can see as we go through our guesses are closer and closer to the same number...)
24/4.898988743=4.898970228.  Averaging:  (4.898970228+4.898988743)/2=4.898979486.  At this point our answer is the same every time down to the hundred-thousandth.  Our estimate to the nearest hundredth would be 4.90.

There are 45 male teachers and 75 female teachersin a school. Find the percentage of male teachers, female teachers in the schoo
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

37.5% are male

62.5% are female

Step-by-step explanation:

in total 120 teachers (45 male+75 female)

therefore:

for male

120 - 100%

45 - x%  (we need to find x)

by using the butterfly method (or cross multiply) we get:

120x=100*45

x=4500/120=37.5% (male teachers)

we do the same for female but instead of using 45 we will use 75(the quantity of female theachers in school)

120x=100*75

x=7500/120=62.5%
