25% of 24 students= 6 students
Final answer: 6 students

Prove the following statements: (a) For every integer x, if x is even, then for every integer y, xy is even. (b) For every integ
Murrr4er [49]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Given that x and y is even, we want to prove that xy is also even.

For x and y to be even, x and y have to be a multiple of 2. Let x = 2k and y = 2p where k and p are real numbers. xy = 2k x 2p = 4kp = 2(2kp). The product is a multiple of 2, this means the number is also even. Hence xy is even when x and y are even.

(b) in reality, if an odd number multiplies and odd number, the result is also an odd number. Therefore, the question is wrong. I assume they wanted to ask for the proof that the product is also odd. If that's the case, then this is the proof:

Given that x and y are odd, we want to prove that xy is odd. For x and y to be odd, they have to be multiples of 2 with 1 added to it. Therefore, suppose x = 2k + 1 and y = 2p + 1 then xy = (2k + 1)(2p + 1) = 4kp + 2k + 2p + 1 = 2(kp + k + p) + 1. Let kp + k + p = q, then we have 2q + 1 which is also odd.

(c) Given that x is odd we want to prove that 3x is also odd. Firstly, we've proven above that xy is odd if x and y are odd. 3 is an odd number and we are told that x is odd. Therefore it follows from the second proof that 3x is also odd.

Jonathan’s class has 30 boys. Of the students in his class, 60% are girls. How many girls are in Jonathan’s class?
raketka [301]

Answer:

45 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Remark
  • There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
  • But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
  • Let x = the total number of students.

Solution

  • 40/100 * x = 30              Change the % to a decimal
  • 0.4 x = 30                       Divide both sides by 0.4
  • 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4      Do the division
  • x = 30/0.4
  • x = 75 students in total

Formula

Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.

Givens

  • Total = 75
  • Number of boys = 30

Solution II

  • 75 = x + 30                 Subtract 30 from each side
  • 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
  • 45 = x
  • There are 45 girls in the class.
