Mathematics

Answer:

\frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  } \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two numbers x and y, their geometric mean is defined as

\sqrt{xy}

Let that number be m, and let x be the smallest of the two numbers.

You know for sure that

x \leqslant m \leqslant y

Since

m  \geqslant  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} }

And

m \leqslant  \sqrt{ {y}^{2} }

With equality holding if and only if x=y.

So, we can use the geometric mean to generate numbers which are for sure between two desired values. For example:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{1}{5}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

The middle term is of course irrational, since it's equal to

\frac{1}{  \sqrt{20}  }  =  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}

Now we can do the same thing with our newfound value which we know to be between 1/4 and 1/5:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20} }  <  \frac{1}{5}

And

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

There are 99 males and 121 females participating in a marathon. What percent of the participants are female?​
ioda

To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.

99+121=220

Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.

This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.

\frac{121}{220} =0.55

or 55%
