Answer:

1 a = 70%

b 6.5 times

c green = 16%

2. ????? Very poorly worded question

2. a 54%

b. 46%

c. 70%

d. 27%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Students in a class were asked to tell their favorite color.

a. What percent said red, blue, or yellow? __% said red, blue, or yellow.

red is .26

blue is .40

yellow is .04

---------------------

.70 = 70 %

b. How many times more students said red than yellow?

red .26

yellow is .04

.26/.04 = 6.5 times

c. What percent of students said green? __% said green.

The circle must total 100 %

Red + blue + yellow + purple + green = 100

26+ 40 + 4 + 14 + green = 100

84 + green = 100

Subtract 84 from each side

84-84 + green = 100-84

green = 16

2. Which two methods could be used to find the percent of students who said green?

We can either convert the percents to decimals or the decimals to percents

The total percents must equal 100%

The total decimal must equal 1

a. Find the sum of the percents given in the circle graph.

If they only want the ones written on the graph as percents

(14+40) = 54%

b. Find the sum of the percent forms of the numbers given in the circle graph. Subtract the result from 100%.

100 - 54% = 46%

c. Find the sum of the decimal forms of the numbers given in the circle graph. Subtract that sum from 1. Change the result to a percent.

.26+.04 = .3

1-.3 = .7

70%

d. Find the sum of half of the percents given in the circle graph. Subtract that total from 50%.

1/2 (46%) = 23%

50 -23 = 27%

A bicyclist traveled with a speed of 12 km/h from a camping ground to a station, located 60 km away. Write a formula expressing

yawa3891 [41]

1. The formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t is: s = 60 - 12t

2. the distance travelled at time t = 3.5 h is 18 Km

<h3>What is speed? </h3>

Speed is the distance travelled per unit. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Speed = distance / time

<h3>1. How to determine the formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t</h3>

From the question given, bicyclist traveled with a speed of 12 km/h from a camping ground to a station, located 60 km.

Thus, we shall determine the distance travel in time t as follow

Speed = 12 Km/h
Time = t
Distance in time t = ?

Speed = distance / time

12 = distance / t

Cross multiply

Distance = 12 × t

Distance in time t = 12t

But the total distance travelled is 60 Km. Thus, the remaining distance (s) from the bicyclist to the station at time (t) will be given as:

s = 60 - 12t

Thus, the formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t is: s = 60 - 12t

<h3>2. How to determine the distance at t = 3.5 hours</h3>

The distance at t = 3.5 hours can be obtained as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 3.5 hours
Distance (s) = ?

s = 60 - 12t

s = 60 - (12 × 3.5)

s = 60 - 42

s = 18 Km

Thus, the distance travelled at t = 3.5 hours is 18 km

Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

A = (x + 15)(x + 10) − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+15)(x+10)-5=A would be a solution

To make this easier, let's assign x a value. Let's say 3.

(3+15)(3+10)-5=A

(18)(13)-5=A

234-5=A

A=229

Now with this, we put x in the answer choice and the answer that gives an area of 229 is correct.

A. A=(3+20)(3+10)+12=(23)(13)+12=299+12=311 <u>Answer A is wrong.</u>

B. A=(3+20)(3+10)-12=(23)(13)-12=299-12=287 <u>Answer B is wrong.</u>

C. A=(3+26)(3+15)=(29)(18)=522 <u>Answer C is wrong.</u>

D. A=(3+14)(3+8)=(17)(11)=187 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>

It's either I'm wrong or the answer choices are wrong.

New answer choices!

A. A=(3+20)(3+11)

=(23)(14)=322 Answer A is wrong.

B. A=(3+15)(3+10)+5

=(18)(13)+5=234+5=239 Answer B is wrong.

C. A=(3+15)(3+10)−5

=(18)(13)-5=234-5=229 Answer C is correct.

D. A=(3+9)(3+10)=(12)(13)=156 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>

Which expression shows the sum of the polynomials with like terms grouped together?

Leto [7]

Answer:

C. (-4x^2)+2xy^2+[10x^2y+(-4x^2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A. [9-4x2) + (-4x2y) + 10x2y] + 2xy2 : in this polynomial the first term is not a like term, then this is incorrect.

B. 10x2y + 2xy2 + [(-4x2) + (-4x2y)] : in this polynomial, the terms that are grouped, are not like terms, then is incorrect.

C. (-4x2) + 2xy2 + [10x2y + (-4x2y)] ; This polynomial is the right answer because the like terms are grouped.

D. [10x2y + 2xy2 + (-4x2y)] + (-4x2): This polynomial is incorrect because one of the terms that are grouped is not a like term.

Answer:

x = -7 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 4x - 21 = 0 factors as follows: (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0.

Then x = -7 and x = 3.

The circumference of the flotation device above is 62.8 inches . If three flotation devices are lined up end-to-end , then what

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: 60 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the diameter of one flotation device:

Circumference of a circle C = (3.14) (diameter)

Replacing with the values given:

62.8 =3.14 d

Solving for d (diameter)

62.8 /3.14 =d

20in = d

Now, since the three flotation devices are identical, we simply have to multiply the diameter of one device by 3 , to obtain length of the flotation devices lined up.

20x3 =60 in
