Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 60% of students passed , then 40% of students failed.

60% = 180 ( divide both sides by 60 )

1% = 3

Then

40% = 40 × 3 = 120

120 students failed the exam

Lydia is making spaghetti sauce at a community luncheon. Each batch requires 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt, 1⁄3 teaspoon of oregano, 1⁄4

Troyanec [42]

Salt is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

Explanation

Required spices are......

Salt = $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon , Oregano = $\frac{1}{3}$ teaspoon, Crushed thyme = $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon and Black peeper = $\frac{1}{8}$ teaspoon

For finding the largest quantity, first we need to make the denominators of each fraction as equal and then identify the largest numerator.

The denominators are 2, 3, 4 and 8 and their LCM(Least common multiple) will be 24. So.....

$\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*12}{2*12}=\frac{12}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*8}{3*8}=\frac{8}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*6}{4*6}=\frac{6}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{8}=\frac{1*3}{8*3}=\frac{3}{24}$

As the largest numerator is 12 here, so the value of $\frac{1}{2}$ is largest among all the fractions.

Thus, Salt is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

Pls answer asap 30 points Solve the following equation for r : x=−3+8r5

Margaret [11]

Around 90% of the time, you'll get joke answers or answers from bots. Even if I report their answers, they will report my question back? Even though their answers are completely irrelevant to my questions? Also, your moderators are probably 12 years olds, because why? THEY. DELETE. EVERY. CORRECT. ANSWER. I. MADE. Not to mention, that there are a bunch of other users that started grouping and bullied me with vulgar words. Disgusting. Is this what your moderating has become, Huh? Brainly? IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL A PEACEFUL FRIENDLY WEBSITE FOR EVERYONE? Shame on you, I will not use this website again, until you fix your moderation "ENTIRELY".

#17-1: Simplify this complex fraction. 1/3 / 6/9

Gnesinka [82]

$\huge{\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}}$

To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal, which you find by flipping the numerator and the denominator. $\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{6}{9} = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{9}{6}$

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately. $\frac{1}{3} * \frac{9}{6} = \frac{1*9}{3*6} = \frac{9}{18}$

Simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by $9$ . $\frac{9 \div 9}{18 \div 9} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}$
