Answer:
50%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a math class contains 40 students, and there are 18 females (two of whom speak Spanish) and 22 males (two of whom speak Spanish), in order to know the percent of Spanish speaking students that are male with respect to the total Spanish-speaking students, the following calculation has to be made:
2 + 2 = 4
2 / 4 = 0.5
Therefore, the percentage of Spanish speaking students that are male is 50%.
This is the concept of algebra: The answers to the questions will be as follows:
1. What is AD/AM in the simplest form:
AD/AB is the ratio of AD to AB. This will calculated as follows:
AD=9 units
AB=3 units
thus:
9/3=3
Hence, we conclude that the answer is D. 3
2] What is slope of BE/ slope of AE in simplest form:
slope=(Δy-axis)/(Δx-axis)
slope of AE
=(5-0)/(4-0)
=5/4
slope BE
slope=(5-0)/(4-3)=5/1=5
therefore the ratio of the two slope will be:
BE/AE
=5/(5/4)
=4
The answer is A.4
3. What is the value of x in the proportion (x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35?
To get the value of x we solve the above proportion:
(x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35
35(x-1)=5(4x+2)
35x-35=20x+10
putting like terms together we get:
35x-20x=10+35
15x=45
dividing both sides by 15
x=45/15
x=3
Hence the answer is B.3
4. What is the value of x in the proportion:
(x+1)/(x+3)=15/21
to get the value of x we solve the above:
first we begin by cross multiplying the proportion, this will give us:
21(x+1)=15(x+3)
21x+21=15x+45
putting like terms together we get:
21x-15x=45-21
6x=24
dividing both sides by 6 we get
x=4
∴ x=4
5. The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in extended ratio 3:10:12. The perimeter is 400 cm. What is the length of the longest side in cm.
solution:
Here we introduce the variable x such that the perimeter is:
3x+10x+12x=400
25x=400
x=400/25
x=16
The longest side will be:
12×16=192 cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3% is the same as 0.03
Therefore, 662/3% = 662/0.03
