There are 15 boys and 45 girls competing in a race. What is the ratio of girls to boys in the race , lowest terms ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer =  3:1

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

Work Shown

45 girls : 15 boys

45/15 girls : 15/15 boys .... divide both parts by 15

3 girls : 1 boy

This tells us there are three times as many girls as there are boys.

We write this as the ratio 3 : 1. The order of the terms is important. We cannot say 1:3 since that would imply there are more boys than girls, but it's the other way around.

In ΔWXY, if m∠W is five less than three times m∠Y and m∠X is 8 more than m∠W, find the measures of each angles?

Answers

Answer:

∡W = 73°

∡X = 81°

∡Y = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'y' = measure angle Y

let '3y - 5' = measure of angle W

let '3y + 3' = measure of angle X

add all together and set equal to 180

y + 3y + 3y - 2 = 180

7y = 182

y = 26

substitute 26 for y in '3y+3' to find measure of angle X

substitute 26 for y in '3y-5' to find measure of angle W

You are testing two scales for accuracy by weighing two different objects. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about the scales' accuracy.

Answers

Answer:

Because the object on scale 1 weighs more than the object on scale 2, each pound of error results in a lesser percent error. Scale 1 was 10 pounds off and scale 2 was 3 pounds off, so scale 1 was 10% off and scale 2 was 12% off.

The object on scale 1 weighs 100 pounds and the object on scale 2 weighs 25 pounds so the object on scale 1 weighs more than scale 2.

Scale 1 error margin:                                            Scale 2 error margin:

= Actual weight - measured weight                    = 25 - 22

= 100 - 90                                                              = 3 pounds

= 10 pounds

Scale 1 error percentage:                                     Scale 2 error percentage:

= Error margin/ Actual weight                              = 3/25

= 10/100                                                                 = 12%

= 10%

Scale 1 object has less percent error.

Answer:

Fill in Blanks in Caps and Numbers are in ()

Because the object on scale 1 weighs (MORE) than the object on scale 2, each pound of error results in a (LESSER) percent error. Scale 1 was (10) pounds off and scale 2 was (3) pounds off, so scale 1 was (10)% off and scale 2 was (12)% off

Algebra I

Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

6x + 4 = 5x + 17 + 120

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms:                    6x + 4 = 5x + 137Isolate x terms:                             x + 4 = 137Isolate x:                                       x = 133

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    6(133) + 4 = 5(133) + 17 + 120Multiply:                               798 + 4 = 665 + 17 + 120Add:                                     802 = 682 + 120Add:                                     802 = 802

Here we see that 802 does indeed equal 802.

∴ x = 133 is the solution to the equation.


Colin was thinking of a number. Colin doubles it, then adds 9 to get an answer of 95.4. What
was the original number?

Answers

Answer:

43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation to model the situation;

2x + 9 = 95.4

"x" represents the unknown number. 2x is present because the number is double. 9 is added because the problem says that Colin added 9. This is set equal to 95.4, because the result attained is 95.4.

Solve the equation using inverse operations;

2x + 9 = 95.4

    -9       -9

2x = 86.4

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.

The steps of the experiment are shown below.

Collect five pieces of wax of different colors.

Use a plastic knife to scrape off thin shavings of the pieces of wax.

Pile the wax shavings of different colors one over the other.

Hold the pile of wax shavings in the palm and squeeze it for two to three minutes. Fold the pile and squeeze it in the palm again for a minute.

What does the student's experiment most likely demonstrate about the rock cycle?

a. Weathering can change igneous rocks into sediments.

b. Weathering can change metamorphic rocks into sediments.

c. Heat and pressure can change igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks.

d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Answer: Option D

Explanation: The rock cycle defines the conversion or transformation of igneous rock into sedimentary rocks and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. The conversion of rocks into these three forms is continuous.

The igneous rocks on weathering forms sediments which on cementation and compaction gets converted into sedimentary rocks. Then sedimentary rocks under tremendous heat and pressure gets converted into metamorphic rocks.

These processes takes millions of years to gets converted from one rock form to another.

Here, in the experiment wax shavings of different colors one upon another shows that they are sedimentary rocks and pressing it between palm or hand shows that heat and pressure is applied on it. This shows the conversion of sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.
