Answer:

0.84 or 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be number of people who took the survey, the number of men who answered the survey is 0.45n. The number of men who answered the survey and have participated in online auctions is 0.38n. Therefore, choosing from the population of men who took the survey (0.45n) the probability that a respondent had participated in an online auction is:

P =\frac{0.38n}{0.45n}\\P=0.84

5x + 4m = 43my + 6 solve for m
pav-90 [236]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  m = (5x -6)/(43y -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4m+6 to separate m-terms from other terms.

  5x +4m -(4m +6) = 43my +6 -(4m +6)

  5x -6 = 43my -4m

  5x -6 = m(43y -4) . . . . factor out m

 (5x -6)/(43y -4) = m . . . . divide by the coefficient of m

Some of the students three scores is 231. If the first is 20 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 more
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The first score is 109

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that in the first sentence of the question, you meant:

Sum of the students three scores is 231...

First, let the scores of the first second and third student be a, b and c respectively. We are told that:

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . . . .(1)         (sum of students three scores is 231)

a = b + 20 . . . . . . . . . . . (2)        (the first is 20 points more than the second)

a + b = 6c . . . . . . . . . . . .(3)        (sum of the first two is 6 more times the third)

required, find a.

substituting the value of (a + b) in equation (3) into equation (1), we will have the following:

since a + b = 6c . . . (3)

a + b + c = 231 . . . . . (1), becomes,

(a + b) + c = 231

(6c)  + c = 231

7c = 231 (divide both sides by 7)

c = 231 ÷ 7 = 33

∴ c = 33

Next, from equation (2), we know that a = b + 20; this can also be written as:

a - 20 = b

∴ b = a - 20 . . . . . . . (4)

Finally, putting the value of b in equation (4) and the value of c calculated above into equation 1, ( a + b + c = 231), we have the following:

a + (a - 20) + 33 = 231

(a + a) - 20 + 33 = 231

2a + 13 = 231

2a = 231 - 13 = 218

a = 218 ÷ 2 = 109

∴ a = 109

we can also calculate for 'b' by substituting for the value of 'a' in equation 4

b = a - 20 = 109 - 20 = 89.

and to test if the values of a, b and c are correct:

a + b + c = 231

109 + 89 + 33 = 231

on a certain planet, objects weight about 7/12 of what they weigh on earth. an object weights 13 5/12 pounds on the planet. solv
Cloud [144]
Although the concept here is physics, the solution is technically just algebra. You have two situations that are related to each other which can be expressed in equation form. Actually, the equation is already given which is <span>7/12 w= 13 5/12. So, basically, all you have to do is solve for w.

Let's simplify 13 5/12 first into an improper fraction.You do this by multiplying the denominator with the whole number and adding to it the numerator. This will be your new numerator, The denominator would still be 12. So, this is equal to (12*13 + 5)/12 = 161/2. Then,

(7/12) w = 161/12

By cross multiplication,

7*12*w = 161*12
w = 161/7 = 23

Therefore, w = 23 pounds which is the weight of the object on Earth.
