In a school of 260 children, 55% are girls. How many girls are there? At the same school, 10% of children leave for a school trip. How many pupils go on the trip?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Number of children in a school = 260
Percentage of girls in the school = 55%
Number of girls in the school = (55/100) * 260
                                                = 14300/100
                                                 = 143
So there were 143 girls in the school among 260 children
Percentage of children going for the school trip = 10%
Then
Number of students going for the school trip = (10/100) * 260
                                                                        = 26
So 26 children are going for the school trip. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to face similar problems in future.

Enter the equation of the circle with the given center and radius.Center: (0,3); radius: 3
The equation of the circle is

Answers

Answer:

x² + (y - 3)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k) = (0, 3) and r = 3, thus

(x - 0)² + (y - 3)² = 3², that is

x² + (y - 3)² = 9 ← equation of circle

Which statement explains why –27 is the opposite number of 27? Answer Choices They are the same quantity with different signs. They are an equal distance from 1 on the number line. They are both greater than 0. They are odd numbers.

A girl is snorkeling 1meter below sea level and then dives down another 0.5 meters. How far below sea level is the girl?

Answers

Answer:

She is 1.5 meters below the sea level


Explanation:

The sea level is indicated by the number 0

What's above the sea level is indicated by +ve numbers

What's below the sea level is indicated by -ve numbers


We know that:

originally, her depth was 1 meter below the sea level

This means that her original depth is -1


Now, she dives an extra 0.5 meters, to get her final depth, we would add -0.5 to the original -1 meters


This means that:

her depth = -1 + (-0.5) = -1.5 meters

where the negative sign indicates that she is below the sea level


Hope this helps :)

To calculate how far below sea level the girl is, you simply need to add 1 meter to 0.5 meters. This gives you the answer of 1.5 meters below sea level. (not sure what I can add to this answer)

You and your friend get the same magazine. You spend $15 for twelve issues. Your friend pays $1.50 per issue but gets the first two issues free. How many issues will your friend get if he also spends $15?

Answers

The friend will get 12 issues for $15.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio indicates the number of times one number contains another.

Given that, the friend pays $1.50 per issue:

$1.5 = 1 issues

$1 = 1/1.5 issues

$15 = (1/1.5) × 15 issues

$15 = 10

Since the friend gets the first two issues free, he will get 10 + 2 =12 issues.

Hence, the friend will get 12 issues for $15.

he will get 12 issues too. Since he spent 15 dollars  in total you would divide that by 1.50 to see how many he actually purchased and it comes out to 10 meaning that he got 10 issues with the money. Now he got two free issues so you would add them to the ones he purchased, so 10 + 2 which would equal 12. So in total he got 12 issues. I hope that helps and wasn't confusing.
