Answer:

16 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets go with easy example:

20% of 100 students means 20 students: what is done there

We converted 20% to 20/100 so

$\frac{20}{100}*100=20$

Lets do the same with 80 students as well

$\frac{20}{100}*80=16$

It takes an airplane 5/12 of a minute to fly 3/4 of a mile. What is the airplanes speed per minute?

Nikitich [7]

To make this a little easier, you would want to turn 3/4 into 9/12, to match 5/12's denominator.

You would then just add 7/1 to both fractions

(5/12+7/1=12/12 or 1 minutes)
(9/12+7/1=16/12=1 1/3)

So your answer would be 1.333... miles per minute

Hope this helps

Write a variable expression to describe the rule for the sequence. Then find the 100th term. 35, 36, 37,...

Dmitry [639]

Given expression is 35, 36, 37, 38...

First term a = 35

Common difference d = 36-35 = 1

Nth term of arithmetic sequence is:

$n_{th} = a+ (n-1)d$
