Answer:
45 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
- Remark
- There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
- But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
- Let x = the total number of students.
Solution
- 40/100 * x = 30 Change the % to a decimal
- 0.4 x = 30 Divide both sides by 0.4
- 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4 Do the division
- x = 30/0.4
- x = 75 students in total
Formula
Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.
Givens
- Total = 75
- Number of boys = 30
Solution II
- 75 = x + 30 Subtract 30 from each side
- 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
- 45 = x
- There are 45 girls in the class.
Answer:
<em>P(B) = 0.46</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability</u>
The complementary event of a given event A is defined as "not A" or the event that A does not occur.
For example, if A is defined as 'getting a job', then the complement of A is 'not getting a job'.
Event A and its complementary event (call it B) must satisfy:
P(A) + P(B) = 1
If we know P(A)=0.54, then
P(B) = 1 - P(A)
P(B) = 1 - 0.54
P(B) = 0.46
The number is 6. The equation would be 8x - 12 = 36. You add over the 12 to the 36 to get 48. Then when you do 8x divided by 48, you get x = 6. Therefore, the number the problem is asking for is 6.
I think that the answer is 5 to 2.49 or 5:2.49
