The risk of a child developing cancer is approx 3 in 1500. If there are approx 11,721,722 children, how many have cancer?

Maslowich

Answer:

Approximately 23,433 children will have cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/1500 can be simplified to 1/500, which can also be written as 0.002. To find the number of children who have cancer, we do 11,721,722 * 0.002, which gives us 23,433.444 which we can round to 23,433.

Dante runs 7 miles in 60 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 24 minutes?

denis23 [38]

<h2>Answer: 2.8 miles</h2>

Step-by-step:

We can write it in the proportion $\frac{7}{60} = \frac{x}{24}$

where x is our number of miles trying to find

We now cross multiply or use the butterfly method which I will demonstrate both

<h3>Cross Multiply</h3>

We multiply the numerator with the dominator

so $7 multiplied by 24$

and $60 multiplied by x$

$7*24=60x$

$168=60x$

$\frac{168}{60} =\frac{60x}{60}$

$2.8=x$ or $x=2.8$

Now for the

<h3>Butterfly Method </h3>

You would do 7 times 24 divided by 60 or $\frac{7*24}{60}$

Then $\frac{168}{60}$ simplify

$2.8$ so 2.8 miles in either method

decide which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring. −b b2 − 4ac 2a u

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation can be factorised if and only if there are rational roots.

For any quadratic equation the discriminant decides about the nature of roots.

Thus only if the discriminant is a perfect square we can have rational roots and in this case only factorization is possible.

In the given equation

$2x^2+ 7x+ 3 = 0\\a=2, b=7, c=3\\b^2-4ac = 1$

Since 1 is a perfect square we can factor and solve

$2x^2 +7x +3 = 0\\(2x+1)(x+3)=0\\x=-1/2 or x = -3$
