Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3-9=-6 but absolute is 6
100% - 55.7%
= 100% - 55% - 0.70%
= 45% - 0.70%
= 44.30%
-----------
This means that the probability of selecting a female student at random is 44.3% as a percentage.
In the question it is already given that Eric drove for 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons. It is required to find the distance traveled on 39.7 gallons of gas. Also we have to find the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Then,
In 15.6 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = 439.92 miles
In 39.7 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = [(439.92/15.6) * 39.7] miles
= 1119.54 miles
So the total distance traveled by Eric is 1120 miles with 39.7 gallons of gas. The answer has been calculated to the nearest hundredth.
Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.
