She has 67% of the pencils.


Chester:Mary = 2:4 = 1:2
So, in the simplest case:
If Chester has one pencil Mary would have two.
There are three pencils.
Mary has two.
2/3 = 0.667 = 67% (rounded)

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage, first add the numbers in the ratio together.

2 + 4 = 6

Divide the total number of pencils by this number

24 ÷ 6 = 4

Multiply this number by each side of the ratio (2 : 4)

4 x 2 = 8

4 x 4 = 16

the ratio of pencils that each of them has is 8 : 16

another way to express this is that:

Chester has 8/24 pencils and

Mary has 16/24 pencils

to work out the percentage of the pencils Mary has, convert the fraction to a decimal then multiply by 100 to work out the percentage.

16 ÷ 24 = 0.667

0.667 x 100 = 66.7 (round to the nearest whole number)

67%

Find the measure of an angle that is 8 degrees less than 3 time its supplement
Pavel [41]

Answer:

133°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle is "x"

We can say:

Complement of the angle is 90 - x

Supplement of the angle is 180 - x

Given, ANGLE IS 8 less than 3 times its SUPPLEMENT, so we can write:

x = 3(180 - x) - 8

So, now multiply and solve for x:

x = 3(180 - x) - 8\\x=540-3x-8\\x=532-3x\\4x=532\\x=133

Thus, the angle is 133 degrees

How many triangles exist with the given angle measures? 32°, 51°, 97°
irinina [24]
For each triangle sum of it's angles must add to 180°.
We need to check if these angles satisfy that condition:
32°+51°+97°=180°

They do satisfy. Now we check if any angle has value that is not possible.
32° and 51° angles are OK.
97° angle is also OK. It is obtuse angle.

For each angle measures exactly one triangle exists. In this example we have an obtuse-angle triangle.

Lara solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:
son4ous [18]

We have been given the steps to solve the equation as

Step 1: 2x = 18

Step 2: x = 18 − 2

Step 3: x = 16

There is an error in step 2.

We have 2x=18

x is in multiplication with 2. So in order to get rid of 2 from the left hand side, we perform opposite operation of multiplication i.e. division.

So we must divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, A is the correct option.

A) She did not divide 18 by 2.
