Answer:

C.   37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we know that the relative frequency of Contractors that prefer Glossy finish is 0.18, and the frequency of Contractors is 0.48. Therefore, contractors who prefer the glossy finish represent 0.18/0.48 = 0.375 or 0.375*100 = 37.5% of the total people surveyed.

1. Henri cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2. The shorter piece is
ruslelena [56]

The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>

He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.

The shorter piece is 70 cm long.

The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:

The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;

5 : 2

let

x = length of the original rope

Therefore,

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece =  140 / 7

length of shorter piece = 20 cm

Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

54. The triangles in the diagram below are congruent.
Reika [66]

Answer:

Angle N should be 64

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle adds up to 180. So triangle JKL already has 60 towards 180. Triangle ONM already has 56 towards 180. So you have to find the other value needed in order to make 180. 56+60= 116 so we need to find the other angle to make 180. To do so just subtract 180-116 and that gives tou the answer 64 so that would be Angle N

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week. She scored 1/2 of the baskets on the weekend. She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday, she scored 1
notka56 [123]

Answer:

6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week.

On weekend she scored = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 36 = 18 baskets.

She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday

⇒On Tuesday she scored = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 36 = 9 baskets

She scored 1/12 of them on Wednesday

⇒On Wednesday she scored = \frac{1}{12} \cdot 36 = 3 baskets.

Then;

She scored = On Weekend + On Tuesday + On Wednesday = 18+9+3 = 30 baskets.

Rest on Thursday she scored = 36 - 30 = 6 baskets.

Therefore, 6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday
