Four hundred seventy of one thousand contestants were girls girls made up what fraction of the contestants?

The fraction is 470/1000, which can be simplified to 47/100, and that is 47%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you take what is asked for and you divide it by the total amount.

470 is the amount of girls as contestants.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
