Answer: 94% of the swimmers finished the race in less than 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to go about finding the answer. The best way to solve this, which can be easily applied to other percentage problems is dividing the number of swimmers who finished in this time (47) by the total number of swimmers (50) (Using a calculator).

47/50 = 0.94

To change a decimal to a fraction, move the decimal place over two spaces to the right. Therefore, 0.94 becomes 94%.

Way 2:

This only works because there the number of swimmers are a multiple of 100.

50 is 1/2 of 100. To get the full 100, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Multiply 47 by 2 to get 94 and 50 by 2 to get 100. Thus, 94/100 swimmers would have finished in under 35 minutes. 94/100 = 94%

PLZ!!!! HELP ASAP!!! Problem is in the picture
Strike441 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem: c²=a²+b²

Where c= longest side of a right angle triangle

AB= 6+r = c

AD= 12 =a

CD= r =b

(6+r)² = 12²+ r²

36+12r+r² =144 +r²

12r+r²-r²=144-36

12r=108

r= 108/12

r=9
