Answer:
It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.
Total number of students wearing jeans = 10
Total number of students wearing shorts = 9
Total number of students wearing capris = 2
Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)
= 21
Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100
= (3/7) * 100
= 300/7
= 42.85 percent
So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x - 21) = (2x - 13) eliminate by subtracting 2x and add 21 on both sides
x = 9
Answer:
2/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
here we see the student standing and creating a small triangle that is equivalent to the big triangle since it has the same angles, the only difference is that its smaller, so what we have to do is make a proportion of both triangles, so since 8 ft correspond with the 40 ft they're going to be in the same part of the proportion and the other measurements, including x, on the other part, so itll be 5/8 and x/40, see how the 8 and 40 are both on the bottom? thats because they correspond, so now all you have to do is cross butterfly, so you can set up an expression on 8x= 5*40 or you can just multiply 5*40 and then divide by 8, your answer will be x= 25 ft
