Mathematics

Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

vodomira [7]

Answer:

5/ 19 ≈ 0.26 = 26%

Step-by-step explanation:

given: student is female. there is a 100% chance that the student is female

probability we want = (favorable outcomes) / (total outcomes)

total outcomes = 19 because there are 19 female students and the student must be female

favorable outcomes = 19 - 14 = 5 females who do not have an A in the class

probability = 5/ 19 ≈ 0.26 = 26%

Alexxandr [17]

The maximum amount of supplies that the storage unit can hold is 28 ft³

<h3>How to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

For us to calculate the volume or amount of space in Evan's prism, we will first of all calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. Formula is;

V = Length × width × height.

We are given;

length = 4 feet

width =  3.5 feet

height of the prism = 2 feet.

Thus;

V = 4 * 3.5 * 2

V = 28 ft³

Thus, the maximum amount of supplies that the storage unit can hold is 28 ft³
