There are 48 students studying a foreign language at the community college. If the only two foreign languages offered are
French and Spanish, and 28 students are studying French, which of
the following represents the ratio of students studying Spanish to
the total number of foreign language students?

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

If 28 students are studying French, then the remaining 20 are studying Spanish. The ratio of those studying spanish to the total number of students is 20/48. This can be simplified to 5/12.

5 to 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 28 students are already taking French, then you have to subtract that from the total students, giving you 20 students who take Spanish. So the ratio for Spanish students to total students would be 20 to 48. But that can be simplified (since all ratios need to be simplified) to 10 to 24. And that can again be simplified to 5 to 12.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

45

step-by-step explanation:

to find a percentage, add a decimal in front and multiply it by the other number.

.25 times 180= 45
