For this case we can make the following rule of three:
2/9 ------> 3/5
x ---------> 1
Clearing x we have:
x = (1 / (3/5)) * (2/9)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/3) * (2/9)
x = 10/27
Answer:
he irons 10/27 of his shirt every minute
Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3
There were 3 adults
Answer:
The score of 271.2 on a test for which xbar = 240 and s = 24 has a higher relative position than a score of 63.6 on a test for which xbar = 60 and s = 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Standardized score, z = (x - xbar)/s
xbar = mean, s = standard deviation.
For the first test, x = 271.2, xbar = 240, s = 24
z = (271.2 - 240)/24 = 1.3
For the second test, x = 63.6, xbar = 60, s = 6
z = (63.6 - 60)/6 = 0.6
The standardized score for the first test is more than double of the second test, hence, the score from the first test has the higher relative position.
Hope this Helps!!!
Let 
....(1)
Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 10.
.... (2)
Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 100.
... (3)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)
Hence, the required fraction form is 
.... Answer.
To decrease it by 3% we need to fine 97% of it and 97% is the same as 0.97
16870 times 0.97=16363.9
16870 decreased by 3% is 16363.9
I hope I've helped!
