8 0

Answer:

21 students

Step-by-step explanation:

the percent proportion is a/w = p/100

where A is a part of the whole W, and p% or p/100 is the percent

a/140 = 15/100 (Substitute w =140 and p= 15)

a times 100=140 times 15 (cross poducts property)

100a=2100 (Multiply)

100a/100 = 2100/100 (divide both sides by 100)

a = 21 (simplify)

So, 21 students win the award.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-6y^2+12y+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2y^2+7y+11)-(8y^2-5y+7)\\\\=2y^2+7y+11-8y^2-(-5y)-7\\\\=2y^2+7y+11-8y^2+5y-7\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(2y^2-8y^2)+(7y+5y)+(11-7)\\\\=-6y^2+12y+4$

Nataliya [291]

Answer: 1.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

- the equation to find the volume of a cylinder is V = π r^2 h

- so we can just change this equation around to H = V / π r^2

- so H = 384/ π 8^2 = 1.91 or 1.9
