Answer:

1/7 or 14.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 750 = 225  (females who study chemistry)

60% of 2250 = 1350  (males who study chemistry)

1575 = total students studying chemistry

P (female chemistry student) = 225/1575 = 1/7 (simplified)

1/7 = 14.3%

elena55 [62]

The distance traveled by Raven in 1 hour at the given rate is 4.0 miles.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Distance traveled by Raven = 2 2/5 miles</em>
  • <em>Time of motion, t = 3/5 hour</em>

The speed of Raven motion is calculated as follows;

V = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\V = Distance\  \times \ \frac{1}{Time} \\\\V = 2\frac{2}{5} \ miles \ \ \times \ \ \frac{1}{3/5 \ hr} \\\\V = \frac{12}{5} \ miles \ \ \times \ \ \frac{5}{3  hr} \\\\V = 4 \ mph

The distance traveled by Raven in 1 hour at the given rate is calculated as follows;

D = 4 \times 1\\\\D = 4 \ miles
