60% of the students in class are girls. If there are 15 girls, how many students are in class?

1 answer:

4 0

25

If 15 is 60% of a number, it is 3/5 of the whole. Since 5 goes into 25 5 times, and 5 goes into 15 3 times, 15 is the 3/5 of 25.

Answer:

x = 4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

72 + 10x = 114

10x = 114 - 72

10x = 42

Q1. if a counting number is selected at random from a set of whole number less than or equal to 20 find the probability of getting:

Counting numbers are Natural numbers: $\mathbb{N}$

Also, we have Whole numbers. Despite not having an official symbol, I usually denote the set as $\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$

Whole numbers less than or equal to 20: $A\leq 20, A \subset \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} \\\implies A=\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20\}$

A. Prime numbers

From the set A, the prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.

Once we have 21 numbers in total and 8 prime numbers, the probability is:

$P=\frac{8}{21} \approx 40\%$

B. Composite numbers

From the set A, the composite numbers are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20.

Once we have 21 numbers in total and 11 composite numbers, the probability is:

$P=\frac{11}{21} \approx 52\%$

C. Divisible by three

From the set A, the numbers divisible by three are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18.

Once we have 21 numbers in total and 6 numbers divisible by three, the probability is:

$P=\frac{6}{21} \approx 30\%$

D. Square of 2

From the set A, the numbers square of 2 are 0, 1, 4, 9, 16.

$\sqrt{0} =0$

$\sqrt{1} =1$

$\sqrt{4} =2$

$\sqrt{9} =3$

$\sqrt{16} =4$

Once we have 21 numbers in total and 5 numbers square of 2 , the probability is:

$P=\frac{5}{21} \approx 24\%$

Q2. The opposite angle of acyclic quadrilaterals is in the ratio of 2:3. Find the degree measure of each opposite angle?

Once they're opposite, they add up to 180º

$2x+3x=180 \implies 5x=180 \implies x=36$

The first angle is 72º

The second angle is 108º

Q3. what is the solution set of 9x-4<13x-7 (domain, x e z) ?

$x \in \mathbb{Z}\\$

$x>\frac{3}{4}$

$x\in \left(\frac{3}{4},\infty \right)$

Q4. if three fourth of a number is one tenths, what is the number?

$\frac{3}{4} x =\frac{1}{10} \implies 3x=\frac{4}{10} \implies \boxed{x = \frac{2}{15}}$

Q5. which one is the equation of the line passing through the origin and having a slope 4?

$y=mx+b$

$m: \text{slope}$

$b: \text{y-intercept}$

B. Y= 4x

Is the triangle with side lengths of 20 mm, 24 mm, and 36 mm a right triangle

adoni [48]

Answer:

no it's an acute triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

why? because any angle below 90 degrees is considered an acute triangle which in your case 20,24, and 36 are all very far from being a right triangle
