Answer:

47%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 total students, so find the percentage of girls out of the total students: 7/15= .466, which is about 47%. To double check, you can do the boys and make sure it adds to 100%. 8/15= .533, which is about 53%. 47+53=100. So girls are 47% and boys are 53%

Liono4ka [1.6K]
If the population quadruples every period say hour, that means the "rate of growth" is 300%, so whatever the current amount, increased by 3 times as much is 4 times the current amount, or a quadrupled amount.

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &74\\
r=rate\to 300\%\to \frac{300}{100}\to &3.00\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=74(1+3)^t\implies A=74(4)^t

When a plane flies into the wind, it can travel 3000 ml in 6 h . When it flies with the wind, it can travel the same distance in
jeka94

Answer:

  • plane: 550 mph
  • wind: 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If p and w represent the speeds of the plane and wind, respectively, the speed into the wind is ...

  p - w = (3000 mi)/(6 h) = 500 mi/h

And, the speed with the wind is ...

  p + w = (3000 mi)/(5 h) = 600 mi/h

Adding these two equations gives us ...

  2p = 1100 mi/h

  p = 550 mi/h . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the wind speed is ...

  w = 600 mi/h - p = (600 -550) mi/h

  w = 50 mi/h

The rate of the plane in still air is 550 mi/h; the rate of the wind is 50 mi/h.
