Hey i need help in this x_X
The ratios of teachers : male students : female students in a school are 2:17:18
The total number of students is 665
find the number of teachers
teachers:male students:female students=2:17:18
total ratio of students =17+18=35
35 represents 665 students
so 2 represents (2*665)/35=38

It's actually 128, not 288 but thanks for your help! I appreciate it.
u r right
sorry i haven't read the question properly i forgot that 62.5% is of the remaining pages
here is the right one
100%-25%=75%
62.5% of 75=46.875%of the total number of pages in the magazine
75%-46.875%=28.125%
28.125% represents 36 pages
so 100% represents (100*36)/28.125%=128
128 pages = the total number of pages in the magazine

Mai(M4!)
Can you guys help explain Q 3 part b ii) From 2013 May/june P41? Thanks
please copy the url next time u ask
u have 200 students
then the probability will be number of students/200
0.3=3/10
number of students/200=3/10
f0r 10 to be 200 it is multiplied by 20
so multiply 3 by 20 to find number of students
3*20=60
then when the frequency is 60
he mentioned that it is greater than m so 60 from the end not from the start
200-60=140
140 from start
which is the last one in 2<m<=4
so M=4

"JACKPOT" How to solve? I'm terrible at sequences... O/N 2012 - 43 View attachment 41681
the first one is reduced by 2 so 6th term =1
-2n+13
the second one is n^2 so the 6th term is 6^2=36
if u noticed that the third sequence is =b+n as when you add to 1+1=2, 16+4=20
so (n^2)+n
6th term =6^2+6=36+2=38
the forth one so the 6th term = 3^6=729
the fifth = the forth-the third, as 3-2=1, 81-20=61
so nth term=(3^n)-((n^2)+n)
the 6th term=729-38=691

(a)u need to find the other two angles first
angle BDC=BAC=28
DXC=180-DXA =180-52=128(as they are on a straight line)
sum of interior angles of triangle =180
than 180-128-28=XCD=24

(b)angle QPS=22x/2=11x
as PQRS is a cyclic then sum of opposite angles=180
s0 11x+25x=180
36x=180
x=180/36
x=5
really helped! thanks a bunch! :D:D
