Answer: 1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation: Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any decimal numbers to integers by multiplying both sides by 101 = 10 to eliminate all, 1, decimal places.

We then have:

1.5 : 6 = 15 : 60

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 15 and 60 is 15

Divide both terms by the GCF, 15:

15 ÷ 15 = 1

60 ÷ 15 = 4

The ratio 15 : 60 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 15 :

15 : 60 = 1 : 4

Therefore:

1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4

The admissions office of a private university released the following admission data for the preceding academic year: From a pool

lina2011 [118]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.1695.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of male applicants = 4200

Number of female applicants = 3800

So, total number of applicants = 4200+3800 = 8000

Probability of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

$0.4\times 0.4=0.16$

Probability of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

$0.4\times 0.45\\\\=0.18$

Number of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

$0.16\times 4200\\\\=672$

Number of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

$0.18\times 3800\\\\=684$

So, Probability that a student who applied for admission will be accepted by the university and subsequently will enroll is given by

$\dfrac{672+684}{8000}\\\\=\dfrac{1356}{8000}\\\\=0.1695$

Hence, our required probability is 0.1695.

If r=20.5 and s=34.2 find S Round to the nearest tenth

astraxan [27]

Answer: option d

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the identity:

$tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

The inverse of the tangent function is arctangent. You need to use this to calculate the angle "S":

$\alpha =arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

Knowing that: you need to find the measure of the angle "S" , $r=20.5$ (which is the adjacent side) and $s=34.2$ (which is the opposite side), you can sustitute values into $\alpha =arctan(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

Then, you get that the measure of "S" rounded to the nearest tenth is:

$S=arctan(\frac{34.2}{20.5})\\\\S=59.1\°$
