Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

Nuetrik [128]

Answer

There are 170 ways the student can answer the test.

Explanation

If there are 20 multiple-choice questions with 5 choices each, the student has 100 choices. The first question has 5 choices to pick from. The second has 5 as well. So does the third. Hopefully now you realize that you have to multiply the number of choices by the number of questions.

The same thing goes with the true/false questions. There are 2 choices for each true/false question, and there are 35 of those. 35×2 is 70. There are 70 ways to answer on the true/false questions.

Now combine the number of choices on the first part and the second part; 100+70 is 170.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

83% remains in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the percentage of donuts remaining in the box.

From the question, we are told that 2 was eaten, the number of donuts left = 12-2 = 10 donuts

The percentage of donuts left would be;

Number of donuts left/Total no of donuts * 100%

= 10/12 * 100 = 83.33

Which is 83% to the nearest whole number percentage
