Hello! I would love to help you on your question!

Alright. Let's start by finding the total amount of students in Mr. Ernesto's club.

We know he has 7 sixth graders

He has 9 seventh graders.

He has 4 eighth graders

So, let's add those all up!

7+9+4=20

Okay, we know there are 20 students in the club now!

Of those 20, we know 12 have microscopes.

We can write this as a fraction: 12/20

Let's reduce that down to 3/5.

Last step!!! We're almost done!

Divide 3 by 5 on a calculator or using long division

3/5=0.6

Convert that into a percentage by doing 0.6*100

That is 60.

So, your answer is 60 percent (%) of the students own microscopes!

Hope this helped! Comment if you have any questions! :)

Answer:

12 in diameter bed will  give better value

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of cover 12 in diameter bed = $150

Cost of cover 18 in diameter bed = $300

Find:

Better value

Computation:

Area of bed = πr²

Area of 12 diameter of bed = (22/7)(6)²

Area of 12 diameter of bed = 113.14 in²

Area of 18 diameter of bed = (22/7)(9)²

Area of 18 diameter of bed = 113.14 in²

Area of 18 diameter of bed = 254.57 in²

Compare cost of bed 1 = 113.14 / 150 = 0.75 in per dollar

Compare cost of bed 2 = 254.57 / 300 = 0.84 in per dollar

So,

12 in diameter bed will  give better value
