The ratio of boys to girls is 7:5. The ratio of boys with glasses to boys without glasses is 1:6. The ratio of girls with glasses to girls without glasses is 1:3. What fraction of students wear glasses?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys with glasses are 1/(1+6) = 1/7 of boys. Boys are 7/(7+5) = 7/12 of the group.

Girls with glasses are 1/(1+3) = 1/4 of girls. Girls are 5/(7+5) = 5/12 of the group.

The fraction of the group that wears glasses is ...

  (1/7)(7/12) +(1/4)(5/12) = 1/12 +5/48 = 9/48 = 3/16

3/16 of the students wear glasses.

_____

Additional comment

It appears we can choose a multiple of 48 students to work out the detailed numbers. For 48 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 28 : 20. The ratio of boys with glasses to those without is 4 : 24, and the similar ratio for girls is 5 : 15. In our group of 48 students, 4 boys and 5 girls = 9 students wear glasses. The fraction is 9/48 = 3/16 as shown above.

Write your answer in the space below.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -40 - 180 = -220

2. - 40 - 180 - 175 = -395

3. -395 - 185 = -580

4. starting position of submersible at 2:15 = -40

position at 2:18 = -580

therefore, their distance = -580 -(-40) = -540.

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2x+4y= 14 a need goes through (4,6)

Answers

Answer:  4x-2y = 4

This can be simplified to 2x-y = 2

Solving for y leads to y = 2x-2

========================================================

Explanation:

Anything perpendicular to Ax+By = C is of the form Bx-Ay = D

The given equation 2x+4y = 14 tells us that A = 2, B = 4, C = 14.

So Bx-Ay = D updates to 4x-2y = D.

We'll plug in the coordinates of the given point (x,y) = (4,6) to solve for D.

4x-2y = D

D = 4x-2y

D = 4(4)-2(6)

D = 16-12

D = 4

So 4x-2y = D updates to 4x-2y = 4

Optionally, we can divide each term by 2 to go from 4x-2y = 4 to 2x-y = 2

If we wanted to solve for y, then we'd get y = 2x-2

The chief engineer is in charge of deciding the mountainous road-network that will be kept open (cleared of debris and maintained regularly) during the winter months. Each road connects different small towns in the mountains, and all towns are connected to each other either directly or indirectly. Each road is associated with a value indicating the level of danger in maintaining that road during winter months. There are many subsets of roads such that the roads in such subsets keep the towns connected directly or indirectly. Each subset is assigned a cost of maintenance, which is directly proportional to the highest danger level of the road present in that subset. The engineer wants to select the smallest subset that keeps the towns connected directly or indirectly and that also has the lowest cost of maintenance. Develop an algorithm to find such a subset. Justify the correctness of your algorithm and derive its runtime.

The four options

Now,

A secured loan is a loan that is backed up by collateral pledged by the borrower, such as a car or property.

The lender can sell the collateral to cover repayment of the loan if the borrower defaults.

Car, since it is a common type of collateral for secured loans.

College, groceries and a phone are less likely to be used as collateral for secured loans, since they are either intangible, perishable or low-value assets.

Therefore, by loan the answer will be car.

The slope of the equation is 1/6

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When the equation is in the form "y = mx + b", m is the slope. This linear line has a slope of 1/6 and a y-intercept of -1/2.

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-9, -3) and (-19, -3).

Answers

Answer:

Slope (m) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use this formula to find the slope⤵⤵⤵

[tex] \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } [/tex]

(Sorry if it's a bit small btw)

Now we plug in the values accordingly:

-3 - (-3) = -3 + 3 = 0

-19 - (-9) = -19 + 9 = -10

Slope = 0/-10

So we have 0/-10, which means our slope is actually just 0.

(This also means that the line on the graph will be horizontal.)
