Answer:  The required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jalisa is using \dfrac{5}{6} yard of ribbon to make bows for her party favors and Jalisa needs to make 6 bows.

We are to find the length of the ribbon used for each bow.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

Length of the ribbon used to make 6 bows is

\dfrac{5}{6}~\textup{yard}.

So, the length of the ribbon used to make one row is given by

\dfrac{\frac{5}{6}}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\times\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{36}=0.12.

Thus, the required length of the ribbon used for each bow is 0.12 yard.

5/36 yard. 5/6 and multiply by the reciprocal of 6, 1/6.

In 2001, a total of 15,555 homicide deaths occurred among males and 4,753 homicide deaths occurred among females. The estimated
deff fn [24]

Answer:

a. 11

b. 3

c. homicide mortality rate

d. 11:3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) If 15,555 homicide cases were recorded among males of 139,813,000 population, then in every 100,000 males, the number of homicides cases will become:

= [15,555/139,813,000] * 100,000

= 11.13 aproximately 11 homicide cases in every 100,000 males.

b.) If 4,753 homicide cases were recorded among Females of 144,984,000 population, then in every 100,000 Females, the number of homicides cases will become:

= [4753/144,984,000] * 100,000

= 3.28 approximately 3 homicide cases in every 100,000 females

C.) Homicide-mortality rate

d.) ratio of male to female homicide rate = 11 : 3

e.) What those rates means is that in every 100,000

Males in 2001, 11 of them were Victims of homicide and in every 100,000 females, 3 of them are victims of homicide.

The growth of a species of fish in a lake can be modeled by the function ƒ(x) = 500(1.10)x, where x is time in months since Janu
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

y= ab^x

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

a = 500, b =1.1

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

If x = (10 − 3i) and y = (3 − 10i), then xy = -109i and x/y =
Yuliya22 [10]
Xy = -109i
We could find the value of i by substitute the algebraic form of x and y to the equation above

xy = -109i
(10 - 3i)(3 - 10i) = -109i
(10)(3) -3i(3) + 10(-10i) - 3i(-10i) = -109i
30 - 9i - 100i -30i² = -109i

multiply both side by -1
-30 + 9i + 100i + 30i² = 109i
30i² + 9i + 100i - 109i - 30 = 0
30i² - 30 = 0
30i² = 30
i² = 1
i = -1 or i = 1

Then find the value of x and y if i = -1
If i = -1, therefore
x = 10 - 3(-1)
x = 10 + 3
x = 13

y = (3 - 10i)
y = 3 - 10(-1)
y = 3 + 10
y = 13

x/y = 13/13 = 1

Then find the value of x and y if i = 1
x = 10 - 3(1)
x = 10 - 3
x = 7

y = (3 - 10i)
y = 3 - 10(1)
y = 3 - 10
y = -7

x/y = 7/-7 = -1

The value of x/y is either 1 or -1

There are four defenders on a soccer team. if this represents 20 percent of the players on the team, which equation can be used
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Given

There are four defenders on a soccer team

if this represents 20 percent of the players on the team

Find out the total number of players on the team.

To proof

As given in question

four defenders on a soccer team

this represents 20 percent of the players on the team

let the total number of players = x

First convert 20% in the decimal form

\frac{20}{100} =0.20

Than the equation becomes

0.20x =4

x = \frac{4}{0.20}

now solving the above equation

we get

x = 20

thus the total number of players on the team are 20.

Hence proved
