Answer:

28 million college students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are \frac{31}{100}x. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 8,600,000=\frac{31}{100}x. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:

8,600,00\cdot\frac{100}{31}=x

The left side of the equation evaluates as 27,741,935.5. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.

If Coach White coaches, the probability of being goalie is 0.55.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

49% probability that Mitchell will be a goalie today

Step-by-step explanation:

If Coach White coaches, the probability of being goalie is 0.55.

Coach White has a 70% probability of coaching.

If Coach Jackson coaches, the probability of being goalie is 0.35.

Coach Jackson has a 100-70 = 30% probability of coaching.

What is the probability that Mitchell will be a goalie today?

This is 55% of 70% plus 35% of 30%

Then

P = 0.55*0.7 + 0.35*0.3 = 0.49

49% probability that Mitchell will be a goalie today

The measurement of the angles of RSC are given by the expression in the table
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

31 + x + 4 + 3x + 9 = 180, that is

4x + 44 = 180 ( subtract 44 from both sides )

4x = 136 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 34

Thus

∠ S = x + 4 = 34 + 4 = 38°

∠ T = 3x + 9 = 3(34) + 9 = 102 + 9 = 111°

City planners are planning to build a new community park. They agree that the park will be rectangular in shape, but the propose
podryga [215]

Answer:

  (c)  714.96 = 21.6(w +4.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangular park will be the product of its length and width. This relation is used to write an equation to find the original width of the park.

<h3>Width</h3>

Let w represent the original width of the park in meters. The new width is 4.7 meters more, so is represented by (w +4.7).

<h3>Other dimensions</h3>

The length of the park is given as 21.6 meters. The area is given as 714.96 square meters.

<h3>Area formula</h3>

The various dimensions of the park are related by the area formula:

  A = LW

  714.96 = 21.6(w +4.7)
