The ratio is 5:7 when you are dealing with total membership. In other words, out of every 7 members, 5 will be men and 2 will be women
The ratio will look like this
5:7 = x:735 change to a proportion
5/7 = x / 735 Cross Multiply
7*x = 5 * 735 Combine the right
7*x = 3675 Divide by 7
x = 3675/7 Divide
x = 525
Answer: 525 men
Answer:
V = a³/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the original cube is the cube of the side length:
V = a³
When the side length is reduced to half its former value, the new volume is ...
V = (a/2)³ = a³/2³
V = a³/8 . . . . volume of the new cube
Answer:
4.625 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 11 pints plus 13 quarts is 18.5 quarts
2. 18.5 quarts is equal to 4.625 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
0.75 = 2^(-t/15)
ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))
ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)
-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t
t = 6.23
1/2 because 5/9 is equivalent to 10/18. Half of 18 is 9 and 10 is close to 9 so the nearest benchmark fraction you should round to is 1/2. Hope this helps you!
