The ratio of males to females is 1.4 : 1, so the fraction of the total that is made up of males is 1.4/(1.4 + 1) = 1.4/2.4 = 7/12.
There were (7/12)*475 ≈ 277 males at the party.
There were 475 - 277 = 198 females at the party.
The area would be 1/2 the original
Answer:
a = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, divide both sides by 5 1/4
a = 7/8 / (5 1/4)
a = (7/8) / (21/4)
a= 7/8 * 4/21
a= 28/168
a= 1/6
When two variables have an inverse relationship, the slope is negatively correlated.
