The incomplete table above summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth grad

e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333
D) 0.250

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

When you solve this system of equations, you get x=10 and y=8. Thus, 5*10, or 50, of the 122 right-handed students are female. Therefore, the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female is

50/122

which to the nearest thousandth is 0.410.

Jason is building a 1 : 180 scale model of a real castle. his model has a rectangular base that is 3 feet wide and 4 feet long.w
balu736 [363]
The area of the actual castle would be 388,800 sq. ft.

We would multiply each of the sides of the scale model both by 180 to find the side lengths of the actual castle.

So...
180 x 4 = 720
180 x 3 = 540

If Area is equal to Length Times Width, all thats left to do is to multiply the two sides together.

720 x 540 = 388,800

Hope this helped! :D

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-10, -3)(−10,−3) to (2, -3)(2,−3) that partitions the s
azamat

Answer:

the coordinates of the point would be (-2.5,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to split the segment from (-10,-3) to (2,-3) into segments with a ratio of 5:3. Since the y-coordinate is -3 for both coordinates, the y-coordinate of the partitioning point will be -3. The ratio of 5:3 corresponds to 5/8 of the distance between the x-coordinates of the two points. So we would be moving 5/8 of the distance from -10 to 2 for the x-coordinate, so the x-coordinate would be -10 + 5/8 (12) = -2.5. So the coordinates of the point would be (-2.5,3)

A bus trip takes 1.5 hours. By plane, the same trip takes 30 minutes. How
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

2 times faster

Step-by-step explanation:

because the plane takes one hour less than the bus and 60 min equal a hour and 30 plus 30 equal 60 which is a hour so then it would be 2 times as faster because it is 30 twice to equal the 60
