Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8 is equal to 80%

you need to figure out 80% of 15

100% = 15

10% = 1.5

(x8)

80% = 12

you would need to shade 12 out of 15 boxes which gives 0.8 chance of picking a shaded one

Answer:

Sample answer: The number of squares that are shaded divided by 15 must equal 0.8, so the number of squares must be 0.8(15), which equals 12. The fraction 12/15 reduces to 4/5 which is equal to 8/10.

5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will
iragen [17]

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

Which equation can pair with x + 2y = 5 to create an inconsistent system?
Charra [1.4K]
X + 2y = 5
x = 5 - 2y

2x + 4y = 3
2(5-2y) + 4y = 3
10 - 4y + 4y = 3
10 ≠ 3

5x + 2y = 3
5(5-2y) + 2y = 3
25 - 10y + 2y = 3
-8y = 3 - 25
-8y = -22
y = -22/-8
y = 2.75

6x + 12y = 30
6(5-2y) + 12y = 30
30 -12y + 12y = 30
30 = 30

3x + 4y = 8
3(5-2y) + 4y = 8
15 - 6y + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 15
-2y = -7
y = -7/-2
y = 3.5

An inconsistent system is a system of equation that has NO SOLUTIONS.

2x + 4y = 3 is the equation to be paired with x + 2y = 50 to create an inconsistent system.

A rectangular box has interior dimensions 6-inches by 5-inches by 10-inches. The box is filled with as many solid 3-inch cubes a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The box would have 99% of its volume taken up.

Step-by-step explanation: The box has dimensions as follows;

Length = 6 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 10 inches

Therefore the volume of the box shall become

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 6 x 5 x 10

Volume = 300 cubic inches

Also a 3 inch cube would have its volume given as follows (

Volume = 3 x 3 x 3 (All sides of a cube has equal lengths)

Volume = 27 cubic inches

To find out how many of 3-inch cubes can fit in, divide 300 by 27 and that equals 11.11.

Hence you can have at most 11 cubes in the box. The total volume of 11 cubes is given as 11 x 27 which equals 297. Therefore, the percentage of the box taken up completely by the cubes is given as;

Percentage = (Volume of cubes/Volume of box) x 100

Percentage = (297/300) x 100

Percentage = 99

Therefore the box would have 99% of its volume taken up by the cubes.

A survey of a group’s viewing habits over the last year revealed the following information: (i) 28% watched gymnastics (ii) 29%
almond37 [142]

Answer: D) 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

G = gymnastics

B = baseball

S = soccer

G = 28%

BA = 29%

S = 19%

G and BA = 14%

BA and S = 12%

G and S = 10%

GBS = 8%

So, as we can see at the Venn diagram attached (consider every number in %)

GBS = 8

A = G and S - GBS = 10 - 8 = 2

B = G and BA - GBS = 14 - 8 = 6

C = BA and S - GBS = 12 - 8 = 4

Only G = G - A - B - GBS = 28 - 2 - 6 - 8 = 12

Only BA = BA - B - C - GBS = 29 - 6 - 4 - 8 = 11

Only S = S - A - C - GBS = 19 - 2 - 4 - 8 = 5

So, 2+6+4+12+11+5+8 = 48

100 - 48 = 52%
