A decade ago, the average class size at Danville Middle School was 20 students. Now it is 12 students. What is the percent of decrease in the average class size?

Answers

Answer 1
40% because divide the numbers by 2 to make it easier, so it’ll be 10 and 6
Answer 2

The percent of the decrease in the average class size will be 40.

What is the percentage?

The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A fraction of 100 can be used to express the ratio.

Given data;

The average class size a decade ago,(initial value,u = 20 students

The average class size at present,(final value),v= 12 student

Percentage decrement = ( initial value-Final value )/final value

%=[(u-v)/v]×100

% =[(12-40)/40]×100

% = 40

Hence, the percent of the decrease in the average class size will be 40.

1. Suppose Leif can rake his entire yard in 2.5 hours, while his younger sister, Autumn, can do it in 4 hours by herself. How many minutes will it take the two of the to rake the entire yard if they are working together, to the nearest whole number? Please answer in a number of minutes.

2. Once Leif and Autumn have all of the leaves in their yard in a huge pile, they decide to do a little math with their pile of leaves. They notice that all of the leaves are yellow and/or red. So, they decide that Leif will count the leaves with any red (5550 leaves) and Autumn will count the leaves with any yellow (6820 leaves). Then, they get their other little brother, Oakie, to come out and count the leaves that have both yellow and red on them (4370 leaves). Using their reported numbers, how many leaves are in the pile? Please just provide the number of leaves.

3. Leif bets Autumn that she can't reach into the middle of the pile and pull out three leaves with yellow on them in her first three picks, without replacement. Assuming the different kinds of leaves were all mixed up together again and randomly distributed throughout the pile, what is the probability that she will be successful? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

1. 93 min2. 123703. 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

1. ...................................

Speed of Leif:

1/2.5 = 2/5 of the job in an hour

Speed of Autumn:

1/4 of the job in an hour

Together their speed is:

2/5 + 1/4 = 8/20 + 5/20 = 13/20

They spend total time for full job:

20/13 hour = 1 7/13 hour = 60 + 7/13*60 min ≈ 93 min

2. ...................................

Leaves with red = 5550Leaves with yellow = 6820Leaves with both yellow and red = 4370

Total number

5550 + 6820 = 12370

3. ...................................

Total number = 12370Yellow = 6820

Probability of 3 consecutive yellow leaves:

6820/12370*6819/12369*6818/12368 = 0.17 rounded to the nearest hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality you need to isolate the variable. To do so add 3 to both sides of the equation, x-3+3>4+3, which simplifies to x>7. This means any number greater than but not equivalent to 7 is a solution. So 8 or 100 would work but 7, 2, or -2 would not.

The table below shows the average annual salary of the workers at the Pearson
Corporation over the course of time since 1980. Let x represent the number of years
since 1980 with x = 0
representing the year 1980. Let y represent the average annual
salary of the workers. Complete the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line of
best fit below with the appropriate value for the slope.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 1164x + 14242[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we understand that

x = 0, when year = 1980

First, we need to determine the slope of the table.

Pick any two corresponding values of year and average salary

year = 1982, average salary = 16570

year = 2002, average salary = 39850

Convert years to x values

year = 1982 implies that x = 2 i.e. 1982 - 1980

year = 2002 implies that x = 22 i.e. 2002 - 198-

So, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (2,16570)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (22,39850)[/tex]

Determine the slope.

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{39850 -16570}{22 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{23280}{20}[/tex]

[tex]m = 1164[/tex]

The equation is calculated using:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = 1164[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (2,16570)[/tex]

So,

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y - 16570 = 1164(x - 2)[/tex]

[tex]y - 16570 = 1164x - 1164*2[/tex]

[tex]y - 16570 = 1164x - 2328[/tex]

Add 16570 to both sides

[tex]y - 16570 + 16570 = 1164x - 2328 + 16570[/tex]

[tex]y = 1164x - 2328 + 16570[/tex]

[tex]y = 1164x + 14242[/tex]

y = 1164x + 14,242

what propery is 5(x + 3) = 35, then x + 3 = 7

Answers

Answer:

Property Used is Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to define the property used in solving 5(x + 3) = 35, then x + 3 = 7

The Division Property of Equality states that when we divide both sides of an equation by same non-zero number  the two sides remain equal

So, in given question:

5(x+3)=35

Dividing both sides by 5 (Division Property of Equality)

5(x+3)/5=35/5

x+3=7

So, Property Used is Division Property of Equality

The four small circles are identical. The total area of the small circles is 16 pi square inches. What is area of the larger circle? Write your answer in terms of pi .

Answers

Answer:

64[tex]\pi[/tex] in²

Step-by-step explanation:

I did not ever do a problem like this, however this is the beauty of math, you can easily reverse engineer it.

Remember,

A = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

And if we have 4 circles that means the area of one circle is 1/4th the total

So,

[tex]A = \frac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]

Assuming that 16 is the radius squared times 4 lets ignore that squared for now because when going backwards we would get rid of the squared last as that was the first step.

[tex]A = \frac{16\pi}{4} = \frac{4\pi}{1}= 4\pi[/tex]

Now lets get it back to [tex]r^2[/tex] by square rooting the 4

[tex]A = \sqrt{4}\pi = 2\pi[/tex]

The radius of one small circle is 2. Therefore; the diameter would be 4 for each. This in mind we know that two small circles diameters make up the radius of the larger circle we will multiply it by two again.

This gives us a final radius of the bigger circle of 8

Therefore, the area of the bigger circle is 8²[tex]\pi[/tex] which simplifies to 64[tex]\pi[/tex]

And a final answer of

64[tex]\pi[/tex] in²

Hope this helps :)

The area of the larger circle is 64π in²

What is a circle?

A circle is simply a round shape that has no corners or line segments. It is a closed curve shape in geometry. The points of circle are at a fixed distance from the center.

Given that, there are 4 identical circles inside a big circle, the total area of the small circles is 16π in²

We know that,

Area = π × radius²

16π = 4π × radius²

Therefore, the radius of each circle = 2 in

Now, according to the arrangement we can say that the adding the diameter of two small circles will give the radius of the big circle,

Therefore, the radius of the big circle = 4 + 4 = 8 in

Therefore, the area of the big circle = π × 8² = 64π

Hence, the area of the larger circle is 64π in²
