Answer:

Fraction of the scouts are square dancing is \frac{19}{30}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pair  is one Girl Scout and one Boy Scout.

So,  to  the final fraction ( of the pairs) we are going to get 1/2 from the fraction of girls and 1/2 from the fraction of boys.  

Girls= \frac{2}{3} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{6}

Boys= \frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{10}

To get the fraction of the scouts that are square dancing,  we have to add the fraction of girls ,  with the fraction of boys.  

=\frac{2}{6} +\frac{3}{10}

=\frac{(2*10) +(6*3)}{6*10} =\\ \frac{20+18}{60}

=\frac{38}{60}

=\frac{19}{30}

This means that  from 30 scouts ,  19 are dancing.

a village having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day. it has a tank measuring 20m x 15m x 6m. fo
allochka39001 [22]

The water will last for 3 days

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, village having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day

<em><u>Let us first find the volume of tank</u></em>

The tank measuring 20m x 15m x 6m

Length = 20 m

Breadth = 15 m

Height = 6 m

volume\ of\ tank = length \times breadth \times height

Volume\ of\ tank = 20 \times 15 \times 6 = 1800

Thus volume of tank is 1800 cubic meter

From given,

Water required per person per day = 150 liters

<em><u>Therefore, water required for 4000 people per day is:</u></em>

\rightarrow 4000 \times 150 = 600000 \text{ liters }

Convert to meters

600000 \text{ liters } = 600000 \times \frac{1}{1000}\ m^3\\\\600000 \text{ liters } = 600\ m^3

<em><u>How many days will the water of this tank last?</u></em>

\text{Number of days water will last } = \frac{\text{volume of tank}}{\text{total water required per day}}

\text{Number of days water will last } = \frac{1800}{600} = 3

Thus the water will last for 3 days

Jose wants to rewrite 24+9 using the greatest common factor and the distributive property. Which expression should he write?
Reil [10]
First get the factors of 24: 2*2*2*3Then the factors of 9: 3*3 Comparing the factors, the GCF is 3 Then you can rewrite the expression: 3*8 + 3*3 At this point, I'm not sure whether what you mean is really distributive property or not since this case is more of a factoring. 3*(8+3)
