9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) 9:45 pm

  b) 10:57 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 15 hours between 7:30 am and 10:30 pm, the clock hands will have moved 15×0.95 = 14.25 hours = 14 hours and 15 minutes.

At 10:30 pm, the clock indicates 9:45 pm.

__

b) In the 9 hours between 10:30 pm and 7:30 am, the clock will have moved 9×0.95 = 8.55 hours, or 8 hours 33 minutes. That is, the clock needs to be set 27 minutes ahead of the actual time.

The clock need to be set to 10:57 pm.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

At 95% speed, the clock loses 5%×60 minutes = 3 minutes each hour. In the 15 hours from morning to night, the clock will be 45 minutes slow. It will indicate 9:45 at 10:30 pm.

In the 9 hours from night to morning, the clock will lose 27 minutes so needs to be set 27 minutes fast. It should be set to 10:57 pm at 10:30 pm.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Total number of students = 360

Total number of girls = 120

Total number of boys = x / ?

120/240= 1/2

50%

Step-by-step explanation: To find out the percent of the boys you first

subtract the whole amount of students which is 360 students in total to the number of girls (120) resulting 240. 240 in ratio is 1/2. 1/2 is 50%.
