Let the number be x
(9+2x)×2= (-3x)+4
18+4x=-3x+4
4x+3x=4-18

The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5. Which pair of equivalent ratios could be used

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.

Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Let the students prefer pineapple be $12x.$

And the students prefer kiwi be $5x.$

Total students = 357.

So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.

According to question:

$12x+5x=357$

$17x=357$

<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

$x=21.$

<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>

$5x$

$=5\times 21=105.$

Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Answer:

0.411^5 times 0.599

Step-by-step explanation:

0.599 chance of landing on heads.

0.411 chance of not landing on heads.

0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 (for the 5 flips that do not land on heads) times 0.599 (for the time that it does land on heads).

An assembly line inspector inspected 340 machine parts. 323 of the parts passed inspection. What percent of the machine parts di

tester [92]

Answer:

5% did not pass inspection

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Inspected= 340$

$Passed = 323$

Required

Determine the percentage of parts that didn't pass inspection.

First, we need to calculate the number of those that didn't pass inspection.

$Failed = Inspected - Passed$

$Failed = 340 - 323$

$Failed = 17$

Next, we calculate the percentage as follows:

$\% = \frac{Failed}{Inspected} * 100\%$

The above formula is derived by dividing the number of parts that didn't pass inspection by the total machine inspected, then multiplied by 100%

So:

$\% = \frac{17}{340} * 100\%$

$\% = \frac{17 * 100\%}{340}$

$\% = \frac{1700\%}{340}$

$\% = 5\%$

<em>5% did not pass inspection</em>
