4 0

Answer:

250 males

Step-by-step explanation:

So 8/8 is the whole which equals 400 in this problem. 4/8 would be 1/2 so it would equal 200. For this certain equation 400 divided into 8th's would be 50. So since there is 5/8 males then you do 5*50 which would equal 250.

Juan ordered 20 pizzas for a party. 45% of the pizzas have 8 slices each. The remaining 55% of the pizzas have 12 slices each. C

Mama L [17]

Total number of pizzas Juan ordered $20$

Since, $45\%$ of pizzas have $8$ slices.

Therefore, number of pizzas with $8$ slices are: $45\%\times(20)$

$=\frac{45}{100} \times(20)$

$=\frac{45}{10} \times(2)$

$=\frac{90}{10}$

$=9$ pizzas

Also, since, $55\%$ of pizzas have $12$ slices.

Therefore, number of pizzas with $12$ slices are: $55\%\times(20)$

$=\frac{55}{100} \times(20)$

$=\frac{55}{10} \times(2)$

$=\frac{110}{10}$

$=11$ pizzas

Now, there are $9$ pizzas with $8$ slices and $11$ pizzas with $12$ slices.

Therefore, total number of slices of pizza are: $=(9)(8)+(11)(12)$

$=72+132$

$=204$ slices

How do I add and subtract radicals with no like terms

liq [111]

Most real number arithmetic is pretty vacuous

$\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}$

That's about as good a way as possible to write this particular real number. But it's far from the only way.

$(\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3)^2 = \sqrt{2}^2 + 2\sqrt 2 \sqrt 3 + \sqrt{3}^2 = 5 + 2 \sqrt 6$

so

$\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{5 + 2 \sqrt 6}$

Sometimes you can factor something out and you have a common radical:

$\sqrt{32} + \sqrt{128} = \sqrt{2^5} + \sqrt{2^7} = 4 \sqrt{2} + 8 \sqrt{2} = 12 \sqrt{2}$

But most of them are vacuous,

$3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13} = 3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13}$

I don't understand this factorisation <br> a2+ 4a+3

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf (a + 3)(a + 1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Factor \: the \: following: \\ \sf \implies {a}^{2} + 4a + 3 \\ \\ \sf The \: factors \: of \: 3 \: that \: sum \: to \: 4 \\ \sf are \: 3 \: and \: 1. \\ \\ \sf So, \\ \sf \implies {a}^{2} + (3 + 1)a + 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies {a}^{2} + 3a + a + 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies a(a + 3) + 1(a + 3) \\ \\ \sf \implies (a + 3)(a + 1)$
