Answer: 4\frac{5}{12}\ feet

Step-by-step solution:

Leon’s older brother’s height is 4\frac{3}{4} feet

=\frac{16+3}{4}=\frac{19}{4} feet

Because Leon is 1/3 foot shorter than his brother,

Leon’s height = \frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}

Convert to like fractions by multiplying numerator and denominator: multiply 3 for the first fraction and 4 for the second.

So, Leon’s height = \frac{57}{12}-\frac{4}{12}

=\frac{57-4}{12}\\=\frac{53}{12}=4\frac{5}{12} feet

Therefore, Leon’s height is 4\frac{5}{12}\ feet feet.

On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults.
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer with explanation:

Total number of children = x

Total chocolates shared = y

In total, the chocolates distributed to the children equals 5 times the number of children, or 5 x.

Chocolates received by adults equal 20.

Let the number of adults be z.

Expressing this situation as an equation:

y = 5 x + 20 z

z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}

⇒Number of adults = z

       =\frac{y-5 x}{20}

At what rate would you need to invest $12000 and make $2880 after 8 years?
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

3\%

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the fact that

The formula for simple interest is represented by

I=P(rt)

where:

I denotes the Final Interest Value

P indicates the Principal amount to be invested

r specifies the interest rate

t refers to the Number of Time Periods

For this scenario, we have

t=8\ years\\ P=\$12,000\\I=\$2,880\\r=?

We can substitute these values into the formula mentioned above

2,880=12,000(8r)

Next, we solve for t

2,880=96,000(r)

r=2,880/96,000

r=0.03

Convert to a percentage format

0.03*100=3\%

In a hospital, there are 250 registered nurses. 100 of the nurses are males. What is the ratio of male nurses to female nurses i
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

The male to female nurse ratio in simplest form is: 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Fact: A hospital has a total of 250 registered nurses.

Total number of male nurses is 100

Total number of female nurses is 250 - 100 = 150 [Total nurses minus number of male nurses]

To determine the ratio of male to female nurses in simplest terms;

A ratio indicates the relative proportions of two or more quantities.

Thus,

\frac{Number of male nurses}{Number of female nurses} = \frac{100}{250}

or

= \frac{100}{250} =\frac{10}{25} =\frac{2}{5} = 2:5

Consequently, the male to female nurses ratio in simplest form is; 2:5

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial car wash price remains unchanged, but subsequent washes see a reduction, you only subtract 7 dollars from the total since the discount applies 7 times. Hence, 15-7=8 so 8 dollars is the final amount.
