Answer:

93%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can not drive = 21

Percentage of student that can drive =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of student that can drive. This can be obtained as follow:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can not drive = 21

Number of student that can drive =?

Number of student that can drive = (Total number of student) – (Number of student that can not drive)

Number of student that can drive = 300 – 21

Number of student that can drive = 279

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of student that can drive as illustrated below:

Total number of student = 300

Number of student that can drive = 279

Percentage of student that can drive =?

Percentage of student that can drive =

279/300 × 100

= 93%

Thus, 93% of the student can drive.

If driving uphill takes 10 minutes less than twice to drive downhill, denoting the time to drive downhill with t, driving uphill is going to be 2t-10. By this way, we are going to answer to the first part of the question.

Next, we can write that 2t-10-t=65 and t=75 minutes

And driving uphill takes 2t-10 = 2*75-10 = 140 minutes

A deck of cards contains 10 black cards and 10 red cards. The first card drawn is not replaced before drawing the second card. W

Virty [35]

<h3>Answer: 9/38</h3>

Reason:

There are 10 red cards out of 10+10 = 20 total.

10/20 = 1/2 is the probability of selecting a red card.

If the red card is not put back (i.e. "no replacement"), then the chances of getting another red card is (10-1)/(20-1) = 9/19

Multiply the two fractions mentioned to get the final answer.

(1/2)*(9/19) = (1*9)/(2*19) = 9/38

A square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches. The area of the resul

nevsk [136]

Answer:

area of the original square = 36 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

one side is increased = 9 inches

other side is decreased = 2 inches

area of the resulting rectangle = 60 in²

solution

we consider here x as the length of any one side

and

longer side of the resulting rectangle = x + 9

and

the shorter side x - 2

so that area of this rectangle is (s+9) × (s-2) = 60 in²

standard form of equation is x² + 7x - 18 = 60 .....................1

it will be

x² + 7x - 78 = 0

(s+13) (s-6) = 0

so that here x = -13

and x = 6

here we Discard x = -13 because the side length cannot be negative.

so x = 6

and area of the original square = 36 in²

Which parent function is represented by the graph?!

timama [110]

Answer: Option A -Absolute value parent function.

Solution:

Absolute value of a number is its distance from on the number line.The graph of absolute function is a V shaped graph.

A quadratic function graph is a U shaped graph.

A graph of linear function is a straight line.

An exponential function graph is rises on one side.

The given graph is a V shaped graph and hence represent Absolute value parent function.

Option B is the right answer.
