Answer:

There are 600 students in this school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the total population of the school.

Then (1/3)p represents the number of students who like math.  Subtracting this (1/3)p from p gives an expression representing those who do not like math:  

p - (1/3)p = (2/3)p

400 students do not like math, so (2/3)p = 400.

Solve this for p by multiplying both sides by (3/2):

(3/2)(2/3)p = (3/2)(400), which simplifies to p = 600.

There are 600 students in this school.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Relative frequency approach

Step-by-step explanation:

In relative frequency of an event  is defined as the number of times that the event occurs during experimental trials, divided by the total number of trials conducted in the given event.

That is if there are total 9 boys in which 4 are from Us.

Then the probability of choosing a boy of Us= Number of boys from US/ total number of boys= 4/9

In our question, we have total  pieces of candy= 12

In which lemon-flavored piece of candy = 4

the probability of randomly drawing a lemon-flavored piece of candy= 4/12

= lemon-flavored piece of candy/ total  pieces of candy

Thus, we are using relative frequency approach for finding the probability.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

Ann [662]

Answer: $4.76

To find the answer you need to find out the total before the 20% tips to find this you need to subtract 14.40 and 20% which = $11.52.If the coffee was $2 you also need to subtract that so the equation would be (11.52-2.00=9.52).Lastly the question is asking you for the price of one serving of pancakes but we have the answer for 2 which is $9.52.To find the price of of 1 serving you need to divide $9.52 by 2 = $4.76.So your answer is $4.76 for 1 serving of pancakes.
