Answer:

Hi.

The first thing you want to know is how many schools 60% is.

To find 60%: 4,000 x 0.6 (b/c 0.6 = 60%)

so, 60% of 4,000 = 2,400

To find the number of schools that consider SAT scores:

Subtract 2,400 from 4,000 which, equals 1,600

or

Find the remaining percentage; 40%:

4,000 x 0.4 = 1,600

Answer: 1,600 colleges

I hope this helps a little bit.

Is 19_10 equal to 20_ 10

-Dominant- [34]

First lets write this out:-

?
19 - 10 = 20 - 10

Now lets solve:-

19 - 10 =9

?
9 = 20 - 10

20 - 10 = 10

9 ≠ 10

Since 9 does not equal 10:-

19 - 10 ≠ 20 - 10

Answer:

a. $b=2$

b. $b = 2a$

c. $a = \frac{1}{2}b\\$

d. $b = 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient is just another similar term for slope l, $m$ , and it can be calculated by $m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\$ where $x_n$ and 1 $y_n$ is the $xy$ -coordinates of point $n$

We let $(0,0)$ be point $1$ and $(a,b)$ be point $2$ , we can then write the equation:

$m = \frac{b -0}{a -0}\\ m = \frac{b}{a}$ .

It also says that the points are with a gradient of $2$ so $m = 2$ . We can then write the equation:

$2 = \frac{b}{a}\\$

Finding $b$ If $a = 1$ :

$2 = \frac{b}{a} \\ 2 = \frac{b}{1} \\ 2 = b \\ b = 2$

Writing an expression for $b$ in terms of $a$ .

$2 = \frac{b}{a} \\ \frac{b}{a} = 2 \\ \frac{b}{a} \times a = 2 \times a \\ b = 2a$

Writing an expression for $a$ in terms of $b$

$2 = \frac{b}{a} \\ \frac{b}{a} = 2 \\ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{a}{b} \times b = \frac{1}{2} \times b \\ a = \frac{1}{2}b$

Finding $b$ if $a = 5$

$2 = \frac{b}{a} \\ 2 = \frac{b}{5} \\ \frac{b}{5} = 2 \\ \frac{b}{5} \times 5 = 2 \times 5 \\ b = 10$

Answer:

52.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total workforce is 11 + 12 = 23

Fraction of men = $\frac{men}{total}$ = $\frac{12}{23}$

To change the fraction to a percentage multiply the fraction by 100%

percent of men = $\frac{12}{23}$ × 100% = 52.2% ( to 1 dec. place )
