Answer:

£150 saved; £240 spent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of savings to spending is 5:8, we find the fractions representing the amount saved and the amount spent by adding up 5 and 8 and then forming fractions:

savings: 5/13

spending: 8/13

(5/13) of £390 is £150; this is the amount saved.

(8/13) of £390 is £240; this is the amount spent.

The table gives the average age of airplanes per airline at Camila’s local airport. By what percent is the number of airlines wi

VladimirAG [237]

The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:

B. 20%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:

$P = \frac{2}{15} \times 100\% = 13.33\%$

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:

$P = \frac{5}{15} \times 100\% = 33.33\%$

The difference is:

33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.

Hence option B is correct.

A survey of athletes at a high school is conducted, and the following facts are discovered: 13% of the athletes are football pla

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player is 56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the athletes which are Football player be 'A'

Let the athletes which are Basket ball player be 'B'

Given:

Football players (A) = 13%

Basketball players (B) = 52%

Both football and basket ball players = 9%

We need to find probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player.

Solution:

The probability that athlete is a football player = $P(A)= \frac{13}{100}=0.13$

The probability that athlete is a basketball player = $P(B)= \frac{52}{100}=0.52$

The probability that athlete is both basket ball player and football player = $P(A\cap B) = \frac{9}{100}=0.09$

We have to find the probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player $P(A\cup B)$ .

Now we know that;

$P(A\cup B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\\\\P(A\cup B) = 0.13+0.52-0.09=0.56\\\\P(A\cup B) = \frac{0.56}{100}=56\%$

Hence The probability that an athlete chosen is either a football player or a basketball player is 56%.

Is 5/8 grater than or equal to 11/16

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Less than

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it wasn't an option, it is less than. In order to accurately compare then, you have to get the least common denominator. Using the least common multiple (2), you multiply 5/8 by 2 and end up with 10/16. Now 10 is less than 11, so the option is neither of those. 5/8 is less than 11/16.
