Answer:

400 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, a proportion would be best!

First, let's set up the left side of the proportion. Percents, when used in parts, are always part of 100%, making 100% a whole. We'll use both 10% and 100% as our first fraction, which should look something like this:

\frac{10p}{100w} (with <em>p </em>standing for <em>part </em>and <em>w</em> standing for the <em>whole</em>)

Next, let's set up the right side of our proportion. We'll use the 40 for our part and x for our whole since that is the number we are solving for. The proportion should now look like this:

\frac{10p}{100w} = \frac{40p}{x}

To solve, just cross multiply and divide! Multiply 40 by 100 to give you 4,000. Next, divide 4,000 by the remaining 10 to give you a final answer of 400. If 40 passengers on the flight are in first class, then there are 400 total passengers. Hope this helps!

What are the x- and y- coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from K to J such that P is Three-fifths the length of
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

\left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{8},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{8} \right )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P is Three-fifths the length of the line segment from K to J

To find: x- and y-coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from K to J

Solution:

Section formula:

Let point K and J be (x_1,y_1)\,,\,(x_2,y_2) such that the point p(x,y) divides KJ in ratio m:n

Then coordinates of point  P are given by \left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right )

Take m:n=3:5

So,

coordinates of point P = \left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{3+5},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{3+5} \right )=\left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{8},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{8} \right )

Nuetrik [128]
Let p be 0.831 denote the percentage of defective welds and q be 0.169 denote the percentage of non-defective welds.

Using the binomial distribution, we want all three to be defective.
P(X = 3) = \binom{3}{3}(p)^{3}{q}^{3 - 3}
P(X = 3) = \binom{3}{3}(0.831)^{3}(1)
P(X = 3) = (0.831)^{3} \approx 0.573856191

7x + 4 = 7x + 4
Kazeer [188]

Infinitely many because if you subtract 7x from both sides, you get 4 = 4, which is true at all times no matter what x is.
