Answer: Because of the total number of DVDs given (36)the number of  individual type of DVD are coming in decimals such that

Number of comedy films =11.07

Number of Action films =22.15

and Number of horror  films =2.78

I also solved using total number of DVDs as 26 and the results were as follows

Number of comedy films =8

Number of acton films =16

and Number of horror  films =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of DVD collection = 36

ratio of the type of DVD =comedy films to action to horror = 4:8: 1

Total ratio =4+8+1 = 13

Number of comedy films = ratio of comedy films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

= 4/13 x 36= 11,.07 rounded to 11 comedy films

Number of action films = ratio of action films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

= 8/13 x 36= 22.15 rounded to 22 action films

Number of horror films = ratio of horror films/ total ratio x Total DVD collection

1/13 x 36=2.78 rounded t0 3 Horror movies .

The numbers of each DVD are giving decimal numbers .

Using

Total number of DVD collection  as 26.

we have that

Number of comedy films= 4/13 x 26 = 8

Number of action films= 8/13 x 26= 16

Number of Horror films = 1/13 x 26 = 2

Answer:

The slope of line is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two pairs of input-output from the table to find the slope of the given line. Here x is input and y is output.

Slope is defined as the steepness of a line and is given by the formula:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Selected pairs from table are:

(-1,-18) and (0,-9)

Here

x_1 = -1\\x_2 = 0\\y_1 = -18\\y_2 = -9

Putting the values in the formula

m = \frac{-9-(-18)}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-9+18}{0+1}\\= 9

Hence,

The slope of line is 9

Which verb agrees with its subject Your friends or their guest __________ cooking the meal. a. have been b. were c. are d. is
netineya [11]
The correct answer to the question above is (c.) are. The verb "are" agrees with its subject in the sentence above that says: "Your friends or their guest ARE cooking meal." That is because cooking is present and the friends and the guests are plural.

How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠X = 51°, x = 5, and y = 2? zero one two
Vitek1552 [10]
From the law of sines, we have:

\displaystyle{ \frac{\sin \angle X}{x}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{y}, 

where x and y are the sides opposite to angles X and Y, respectively.


Substituting the known values, we have:



\displaystyle{ \frac{51^{\circ}}{5}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{2}, thus

                           \displaystyle{ \sin \angle Y=\frac{\sin 51^{\circ}}{5}\cdot2\approx \frac{0.777}{5}\cdot2=0.31.


Using a calculator, we can find that arcsin(0.31)=18 degrees, approximately.

We know that sine of (180-18)=162 degrees is also 0.31. But 162 and 51 degrees add up to more than 180 degrees.

Thus, there is only one triangle that can be formed under these conditions.
