Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

20 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

 

50 points corresponds to a 100% grade.  How many points (x) correspond to a 40% grade?

     x            40%

------------ = ---------

50 pts       100%

Then 100x = 2000, and so x = 20.

A score of 20 points would correspond with a test score of 40%.

Which expression is equivalent to 4p^-4 10q -3? Assume ​
lozanna [386]

Step-by-step explanation:

Derive an expression for the equivalent width in a saturated line. Assume a Voigt profile, with the difference in optical depth between the center of the line and the wings being ~104. The wings of the line can be ignored. Define a frequency x1 = (v1 − v0)/ΔvD, where the optical depth τv = 1. Inside of x1 the line is fully saturated, and outside x1 the line is optically thin. Show that the equivalent width is



Note that the equivalent width is practically insensitive to the number density of absorbing material.

A light bulb consumes 960 watt hours per day how long does it take to consume 4320 watt hours
VARVARA [1.3K]

Since we need to determine how long it takes for the watt hours to consume 4320 watt hours, we would need to divide.

We would simply divide.

4320/950= 4.5

The 4.5 represents how long it would take for the light bulb to consume 4320 watt hours.

Therefore, the answer would be 4.5 days.

<u>Answer</u>

4.5 days

<u>Recap</u>

1. We read the problem and determined that in order to solve the problem we would need to divide.

2. We then divided 4320/960= 4.5

3. We came to the conclusion that 4.5 days would be the answer.

Please solve both of these with how you solved them.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a. (2,5)

b. (14,15.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

y=4x-3

y=-2x+9

Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.

4x-3=-2x+9

6x=12

x=2

Plug in x to solve for y.

y=4x-3

y=4(2)-3

y=8-3

y=5

(2,5)

b.

y=(5/4x)-2

y=(-1/4x)+19

Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.

(5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19

4((5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19)

5x-8=-x+76

6x=84

x=14

Plug in x to solve for y.

y=(5/4x)-2

y=(5/4(14))-2

y=17.5-2

y=15.5

(14,15.5)

arlik [135]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected 
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165          ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618      ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) : 
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72 

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
