Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

fraction of children watching the football match = 2/7

3/8 of the children are girls

so, the fraction of the girls watching the match = 2/7 * 3/8

= 3/28

does this help?

Answer:

(a) 3/28

(b) 5/28

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find 3/8 ths of 2/7, multiply the fractions:

$\implies \dfrac38 \textsf{ of } \dfrac27=\dfrac27 \times \dfrac38=\dfrac{2 \times3}{7 \times8}=\dfrac{6}{56}=\dfrac{3}{28}$

(b) The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1.

Therefore, if 3/8 of the children are girls, then 1 - 3/8 are boys:

$\implies 1-\dfrac38=\dfrac88-\dfrac38=\dfrac{8-3}{8}=\dfrac58 \textsf{ of children are boys}$

So again, multiply 5/8 by 2/7 to find 5/8ths of 2/7:

$\implies \dfrac58 \textsf{ of } \dfrac27=\dfrac27 \times \dfrac58=\dfrac{2 \times5}{7 \times8}=\dfrac{10}{56}=\dfrac{5}{28}$

Therefore, if 2/7 of the people watching the football game are children, then 1 - 2/7 are not children:

$\implies 1-\dfrac27=\dfrac77-\dfrac27=\dfrac{7-2}{7}=\dfrac57 \textsf{ of people watching the football are NOT children}$

A silo is constructed using a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. The circumference of the hemisphere and the circumference of th

givi [52]

1. The surface that will be exposed to the rain is the lateral surface of the cylinder and the hemisphere.

2. The lateral area of the cylinder is a rectangle with height equal to the height of the cylinder and width equal to the circumference of the base of the cylinder.

3. the circumference of the base = 2 $\pi$ r=2* $\pi$ *5=10 $\pi$
so the lateral area = 10 $\pi$ *h=10 $\pi$ *40=400 $\pi$ ( $ft^{2}$ )

4. The surface area of a sphere is $4 \pi r^{2}$
so the surface of the hemisphere = $\frac{1}{2} *4 \pi r^{2}=2 \pi (5)^{2}=50 \pi$ ( $ft^{2}$ )

5. Total area exposed = 450 $\pi$ $ft^{2}$

First of all, don't let "b" confuse you. Know that b = 5/6k = -10, so all you really have to solve for this problem is $\frac{5}{6}k = -10$ .
