Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.

What are two fractions equivalent to 5/12
saul85 [17]

Answer:

10/24 and 15/36, more answers possible

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, it will always be equivalent to 5/12, as you can simplify it back to that fraction.

5/12, multiply both by two, and you have 10/24

5/12, multiply both by three, and you have 15/36

Find S in formula A=5²<br><br>Need help plss this for my exam​
Kruka [31]

Answer:

S  = √A

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given that;

        A = S²

Finding S implies making S the subject of the expression.

 To do this;

       A = S²  

      Take the square root of both sides of the expression;

   

   √A = √S²

  The square-root of the square of S = S;

    S  = √A

80 students took a math test. If 44 students passed the test. What percent passed?
leva [86]

Answer: 55% of the students passed the math test

Step-by-step explanation: The fraction \frac{44}{80} represents the number of students who passed the math test out of all the students that took the test.

To find out what percent of the students that took the math test passed, we can turn the fraction \frac{44}{80} into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. So to write \frac{44}{80} as a percent, we need to find a fraction that is equivalent to \frac{44}{80} with a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

\frac{44}{80} = \frac{n}{100}

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

4,400 = 80n

÷80      ÷80

    55 = n

Therefore, 55% of the students that took the math test passed it. This should make sense because 40/80 would be half and 44 students is only a little over 50%.
