Answer:

Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of books read by Paolo = 40 books

The percentage of non-fiction books read = 35%

Now, 35% of total books read = 35% of 40

⇒ $\frac{35}{100} \times 40 = 14$

So, the number of non -fiction books read by Paolo = 14

Now, the number of fiction booosk read

= Total books read - Non- Fiction books read

= 40 - 14 = 26

So, the number of fiction books read by Paolo = 26

Hence, Paolo reads in total 26 fiction and 14 non- fiction books.

The frequency of a radio wave varies inversely with its wavelength. If a 100-meter wave has a frequency of 3,000 kilohertz, what

Tanzania [10]

Let the frequency be 'f' and wavelength be 'w'

$f\alpha \frac{1}{w}$

$f = \frac{k}{w}$ , $k\neq 0$

w= 100 m and f = 3,000 kilohertz

Plug in the above values to find k

3000 = $\frac{k}{100}$

To find k, multiply both side by 100

3000(100) = k

k = 300,000

So equation becomes,

$f = \frac{300,000}{w}$

w= ? f = 500 kilohertz

500 = $\frac{300,000}{w}$

w = $\frac{300,000}{500}$

w = 600 m

Answer: 10,185 registered female doctors.

Step-by-step explanation: We basically want to find how many females were doctors, if 19.4% of the 52,500 females were registered doctors. Basically we want to find 19.4% of 52,500. We will write an equation that works to solve this problem.

19.4/100 = x/52,500 (This equation represents that 19.4% out of 100% is x out of the 52,500 registered doctors.) Solve for x.

19.4/100 x 52,500 = x/52,500 x 52,500.

(19.4 x 52,500 = 1,018,500/100 = 10,185. And, x/52,500 x 52,500 = x.

10,185 = x.

So, 19.4% of all registered doctors would be 10,185 females out of 52,500 females.
