The average score of those students who passed a test was 65, the average score of those who did not pass was 35, and the overal
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total pass = 65 * number of student that passed, let it be be represented by P and number of students that failed F

Total pass = 65p

And total fail = 35F

For the total pass and failure will be 53(P+F)

Equating to total pass and total fail

65P +35F = 53( P+ F)

65P+35F = 53P+ 53F

65P-53P =53F-35F

12P=18F

2P= 3F

Hence there are 3 passing scores for every 2 failure scores, hence there are a multiple of 5 scores and the same multiple of 3 passing scores.

3/5 * 100= 60%

A gardener has 520 feet of fencing to fence in a rectangular garden. One side of the garden is bordered by a river and so it doe
Bond [772]

The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>

The given parameter is

Perimeter, P = 520 feet

Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y

One side of the garden is bordered by a river:

So the perimeter is:

P = 2x + y

Substitute P = 520

2x + y = 520

Make y the subject

y = 520 - 2x

The area is

A = xy

Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy

A = x(520 - 2x)

Expand

A = 520x - 2x^2

Differentiate

A' = 520 - 4x

Set to 0

520 - 4x = 0

Rewrite as:

4x= 520

Divide by 4

x= 130

Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x

y = 520 - 2 *130

Evaluate

y = 260

The area is then calculated as:

A = xy

This gives

A = 130 * 260

Evaluate

A = 33800

Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
