Answer:

6 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Each runner ran 7.5 km.  If there were n runners, then (7.5 km)n = 45 km.

Solve this for n by dividing 7.5 km into 45 km:

n = 6

There were 6 runners.

Last year , there were 30 male members and 20 female members in a Chess Club . This year , the number of male members is decreas
LekaFEV [45]

The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is

30\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.3 r

and similarly, the r% of female is

20\times\cfrac{r}{100} = 0.2 r

The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is

30 - 0.3r

and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is

20+0.2r

we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality

30 - 0.3r = 20+0.2r

Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:

10 = 0.5r

Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:

r = 20

Let's check the answer

The 20% of 30 is 30 \times \frac{20}{100} = 6, while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that 30-6 = 20+4 which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.

Selina is playing a game that uses the spinner below.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A) 12.5%

B) 50%

C) 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, 7 is one of the 8 possibilities (1/8). 1/8 of 100 is 12.5, so your chance of spinning a 7 is 12.5%

For B, even numbers are 4/8 or 1/2 of your options. 1/2 of 100 is 50, so your chance of spinning an even number is 50%

For C, there are 4 out of 8 numbers that are prime (2,3,5, & 7).

4/8 or 1/2 of 100 is 50, so your chance of spinning a prime number is 50%

hope this helps

Which statement accurately describes how to perform a 90° clockwise rotation of point A (1,4) around the origin?
pochemuha

Answer:

B)Create a circle with the origin as its center and a radius of the origin and point A, then locate a point on the circle that is 90  clockwise

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, to locate a point rotated by 90° from point A, we first draw a circle with the origin as its center and a radius of the origin and point A. We then locate a point on the line that is 90° clockwise from point A. For a 90° clockwise rotation, for a given pair of coordinates, (x,y), the resulting pair of coordinates is (y,-x). So, for the coordinates (1,4), the resulting coordinates we are looking for is (4, -1), which is the point rotated 90° clockwise from point A. The point is thus (4,-1).
