Answer:

Let M represents the Male and F represents the Female.

As per the statement:

There are 6 times as many males as females on the maths course at university.

⇒ M = 6F

Total number of person on the maths course = M + F = 6F+ F = 7F

we have to find the fraction of the course are male;

\text{Fraction of the course are male} = \frac{\text{Number of males on the maths course}}{\text{Total number of person on the course}}

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Fraction of the course are male} = \frac{6F}{7F} = \frac{6}{7}

therefore, the fraction of the course are male is, \frac{6}{7}

Amrita bought a new delivery van for $32,500. The value of this van depreciates at a rate of 12% each year. Write a function f(x
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The function, f(x) to model the value of the van can be expressed as follows;

f(x) = 32,500 \times \left(0.88\right)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The amount at which Amrita bought the new delivery van, PV = $32,500

The annual rate of depreciation of the van, r = -12% per year

The Future Value, f(x), of the van after x years of ownership can be given according to the following formula

f(x) = PV \cdot \left(1 + \dfrac{r}{100} \right)^x

Therefore, the function, f(x) to model the value of the van after 'x' years of ownership can be expressed as follows;

f(x) = 32,500 \cdot \left(1 - \dfrac{12}{100} \right)^x = 32,500 \cdot \left(0.88\right)^x

The ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 8 to 5. If the longer side of the rectangle is 20ft, what is the length o
choli [55]

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.
