To solve this you must use a proportion like so...

\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{part}{whole}

The total number of students that can be chosen are 4,663. This number will represent the whole of one fraction in the proportion. We want to know what percent probability out of these students are engineer, medical doctor/surgeon. This would be considered the part of this fraction. Sum the number of engineering students (615) with medical doctors/surgeons (723) to find this number

723 + 615 = 1,338 students that want to be an engineer or medical doctor/surgeon

Percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that the other fraction in the proportion will have 100 as the whole and x (the unknown) as the part.

Here is your proportion:

\frac{1,338}{4,663} =\frac{x}{100}

Now you must cross multiply

1,338*100 = 4,663*x

133,800 = 4,663x

To isolate x divide 4,663 to both sides

133,800/4,663 = 4,663x/4,663

28.7 = x

This means that there is a 28.7% of a student with the intent of becoming an engineer or a medical doctor/surgeon to be chosen at random

Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table, we see that there are 615 students vying for engineering, and 723 for medical doctor / surgeon for a total of 1338 out of a total of 4663.

So the probability of a prospective engineer or medical doctor or surgeon from the given sample is

1338 / 4663 = 28.7% (to the tenth of a percent)

It cost $36.75 for three tickets to visit the science center. It cost $51 for 4 tickets to visit the zoo. Which attraction will
Ber [7]
Find the cost for one ticket for the science center.
36.75 ÷ 3 = 12.25
Multiply the product with 12 to get the cost of 12 tickets.
12.25 × 12 = 147
Find the cost of 1 zoo ticket.
51 ÷ 4 = 12.75
Find the cost of 12 tickets by multiplying the product and 12
12.75 × 12 = $153
12 Science Center Tickets cost $147
12 zoo tickets cost $153

The Zoo costs more than the Science Center.

To find out how much more the Zoo costed, subtract 147 from 153.
153 - 147 = 6
The zoo only costs $6 more for 12 students.
So, you're answers are Zoo and $6

Value of (–3/8) × (+8/15). <br><br> A. 11/15<br> B. 11/23<br> C. –1/5<br> D. –1/3
svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of

- \frac{3}{8}   \times  \frac{8}{15}

This is the same as:

-  \frac{3}{8}  \times  \frac{8}{3 \times 5}

We cancel out the common factors to get:

-  \frac{1}{1}  \times  \frac{1}{1 \times 5}

We simplify to get:

-  \frac{1}{5}

The correct answer is C
