To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.

$99+121=220$

Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.

This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.

$\frac{121}{220} =0.55$

or 55%

A quadrilateral with 90 degree angles is shown. The lengths of the left and right sides are 10 and 2 y + 4. The lengths of the t

notka56 [123]

Answer: y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the quadrilateral has 90 degree angles, it must be a a square or a rectangle. This means the measure of sides left and right are the same and the measure of sides top and bottom are the same.

To get the measure of y, you can use left and right or top nd bottom.

I'll use left and right. 10=2y+4 => 10-4=2y => 6=2y => y=3

You can check it by substituting. 2(3)+4=10 The answer is the measure of the right side, which is the same as the measure of the left side.

I hope this helps you!

A baker uses 4 cups of flour for each cake. He has 213 cups of flour in his shop. How many cakes can he make, and how much flour

lora16 [44]

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ Just divide the values:

213 / 4 = 53.25

He can make 53 cakes.

53 x 4 = 212

Subtract this from the original:

213 - 212 = 1

1 cup of flour is left over

Kylie and Ethan have each saved some money. I’m their savings, each coin is worth leas then 50 cents and each bill is less then

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Kylie could have a $5 bill and seven quarters while Ethan could have two $1 bills and forty pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kylie has seven quarters, that is seven multiplied by the value of the quarter, a quarter is 25 cents. So 7 x 25 = 125 OR $1 and 25 cents. Leaving Kylie with a total of $7 and 25 cents with the addition of the $5 bill.

Ethan has two $1 bills and forty pennies, forty multiplied by the value of the penny, a penny is 1 cent. So 40 x 1 = 40 OR 40 cents. Leaving Ethan with $2 and 40 cents with the addition of the two $1 bills from earlier.

Ethan has more bills and coins than Kylie and yet still has less money than Kylie.

Solve equations: 3|x+4|=6<br><br> | = absolute value

Anestetic [448]

Absolute values are a way of finding a distant from zero, which means there will be 2 answers; one will be positive, and the other will be negative.

|<em>3x - 4</em>| = 5<em>and</em> |3<em>x - 4</em> = a^5 Because you need 2 answers, you have to make 5 positive and negative.

Another way to write this equation would be...

5=|3x-4|=—5

Now lets continue...

5=3x-4=—5

Add 4 to both sides...

9=3x=—1

Now divide by 3...

3=x= -1/3

So the solution is...

X={-1/3 3}
