Answer:

54 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The ratio of teachers to students on a field trip to New York City is 2 to 9.

That is the ratio is 2:9

We are told that there are 243 students

Required

We want to find the number of teachers

Step two:

Applying the part to part method we have

let the number of teachers be x

2/9= x/243

cross multiply we have

9x= 243*2

9x= 486

divide both sides by 9

x= 54

Hence there are 54 teachers

Ms. Nina has 10 lbs of 25% sugar syrup. How much water does she need to add to make 10% sugar syrup?

ryzh [129]

She has 10lbs of 25% syrup... so, in the 10lbs, 25% of that is syrup, the rest, namely the 75% remaining is water or other substances.

let's say she adds "x" lbs of water, to get "y" lbs for the 10% mixture.

how much is 25% of 10lbs? well, (25/100) * 10, or 2.5.

the water has no sugar syrup in it, so is just pure water, so the amoun of syrup in it is 0%, how much is 0% of "x" lbs? well, (0/100) * x, or 0.00x, which is just 0.

how much is 10% of "y" lbs? well (10/100) * y, or 0.10y.

whatever "x" and "y" are, we know that 10 + x = y.

we also know that the syrup amount in that is also 2.5 + 0.00x = 0.10y, thus

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{lbs}{syrup}&\stackrel{concentration~\%}{syrup}&\stackrel{concentration}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{25\% syrup}&10&0.25&2.5\\
\textit{pur water}&x&0.00&0.00x\\
------&------&------&------\\
\textit{10\% mixture}&y&0.10&0.10y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
10+x=\boxed{y}\\
2.5+0.00x=0.10y\\
----------\\
2.5 = 0.10\left( \boxed{10+x} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
2.5=1 + 0.10x\implies 1.5=0.10x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1.5}{0.10}=x\implies 15=x$

If 40% of a number is 80 what is 25% of that number?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

25% of 200 is 50

Step-by-step explanation

40% of a number is 80

.40 * n = 80

Divide each side by .4

.40 n/.4 = 80/.4

n = 200

The number is 200

Now lets find 25 percent of that number

.25 * 200 = 50

TRUE OR FALSE: FOR ANY FUNCTION, X=F^-1(Y), THEN Y=F(X). PLEASE EXPLAIN

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example let f(x) = 3x + 1 then f-1(x) is found as follows

Let f(x) = y = 3x + 1 then

3x = y - 1

x = (y-1) / 3

x = f-1(x) = (x - 1)/3.

So:

Replacing the x in y by (x - 1)/3 :-

x = f(-1)(y) = ( (3x + 1) - 1) / 3

= 3x / 3

= x.

So y = f(x).

Despite control measures, the pigeon population in Winchester is increasing by 10% each year. If there are currently 9,520 pigeo

TEA [102]

Using an exponential function, it is found that there will be 32,866 pigeons in 13 years.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

$A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t$

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.

r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The initial value and the growth rate are given by:

A(0) = 9520, r = 0.1.

Hence the function is given by:

$A(t) = 9520(1.1)^t$

Hence in 13 years, the amount of pigeons will be of:

$A(13) = 9520(1.1)^{13} = 32866$
