Mathematics

Kaylis [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

To find the answer we only need to know,

Total no.of girls and Total no.of right handed girls.

So,

Total no.of right handed girls = 7/8

Total no.of girls                        = 8/8 (as given in question)

Total no.of left handed girls is,

(Fraction of total no.of girls) - (Fraction of total no.of left handed girls)

= 8/8 - 7/8

= 1/8

∴ 1/8 of the girls in the school are left handed.

How am I supposed to answer this question if it doesn't tell me how many gallons the energy-saving showerhead uses compared to t
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A, or 16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to analyze what the function means. It tells you that x is the number of minutes in the shower, so now we have y=3(minutes in shower). Logically, 3 has to be gallons per minute so that the equation makes sense, since you're multiplying 3 by minutes in the shower. It also uses the same phrasing in the beginning of the problem when it says "A standard shower head in Jen's house dispenses 5 gallons of water per minute." Now, it's 3 gallons of water per minute (x). That means y has to be overall gallons. So, now the equations is overall gallons=3 gallons per minute. If she uses the shower for 8 minutes we can plug in for x. So now the equation is overall gallons=3 gallons times 8 minutes, or overall gallons=24 gallons. With the new shower head, 24 gallons is used. Now to find for the old shower head. 5 gallons per minute times 8 minutes = 40 gallons. Now we subtract to find out how many gallons Jen saves each day. 40-24=16. She saves 16 gallons.

A worm travels 1250 millimeters.how many meters did the worm travel?
Trava [24]

we know that

1\ meter=1,000\ millimeters

so

by proportion

\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{m}{mm} =\frac{x}{1,250}\frac{m}{mm} \\ \\1,000*x=1,250\\ \\x=1,250/1,000\\ \\x=1.25\ m

therefore

the answer is

1.25\ m
