Answer:

40,640,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I solved this equation was by dividing 320,000,000 by 1,000 (to make smaller numbers). Then, I got 320,000. From here, I was able to multiply 320,000 by 127 (the number found in this specific study group) to get 40,640,000. Or, you could just multiply 320,000,000 by 0.127 (the decimal equivalent to 127/1000) to get the same answer. Please mark Brainliest if this helped :)

Answer:

40,640,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is 1000 and 127 wear contacts so

127/1000 = x/320000000

(127 * 320000000)/1000 = x

40,640,000 = x

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation: If a dozen is 3 pounds then half a dozen would 6 which should be 1.50 lb. Now we need to know how much 1 banana weights. lets add all twelve until we have 3 pounds. 12 x 25 = 300 or 3.00 lb so we now know 2 bananas weight 50.

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with a central angle of 60. What is the area of the sector?

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Sector area = (central angle / 360) * PI * radius^2

Sector area = (1/6) * PI * 3^2

Sector area = 9/6 * PI

Sector area = 4.7123889804

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle has a small square, which represents a right angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

In this triangle, 7 and √15 are the legs, because these sides make up the right angle. The unknown side is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. So, we know two values:

$a= 7 \\b= \sqrt{15}$

Substitute these values into the formula.

$(7)^2+(\sqrt{15})^2=c^2$

Solve the exponents.

(7)²= 7*7=49

$49+ (\sqrt{15})^2=c^2$

(√15)²=√15*√15=15

$49+15=c^2$

Add.

$64=c^2$

Since we are solving for c, we must isolate the variable. It is being squared and the inverse of a square is the square root. Take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt{64}=\sqrt{c^2} \\\sqrt{64}= c\\8=c$
