Answer:
12 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
Number of boys = 3
Number of girls = 2
Boys: Girls
3:2
Let :
a = boys
b = girls
Hence, a : b = 3 : 2
a/b = 3/2
Cross Multiply
2a = 3b .......... Equation 1
a = 3b/2
If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and girls
Hence,
a: b + 4 = 3 : 3
a/b + 4 = 3/3
Cross Multiply
3a = 3(b + 4)
3a = 3b + 12 ........ Equation (2)
From Equation 1: a = 3b/2
Substitute 3b/2 for a in Equation 2 we have:
3a = 3b + 12 .........Equation 2
3(3b/2) = 3b + 12
9b/2 = 3b + 12
Cross Multiply
9b = 2(3b + 12)
9b= 6b + 24
9b - 6b = 24
3b = 24
b = 8
Substitute 8 for b in Equation 1
a = 3b/2
a = 3 × 8/2
a = 24/2
a = 12
Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 12
Answer:
3614 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
A plane flew for 2 hours at 467 mph
Let us find the distance covered
Speed= distance/time
Distance= speed*time
Distance= 467*2
Distance=934 miles
5 hours at 536
Let us find the distance covered
Speed= distance/time
Distance= speed*time
Distance= 536*5
Distance=2680 miles
Total distance
=2680+934
=3614 miles

Step-by-step explanation:
1 to the second power is 1 + 1 = 2
2 to the second power is 4 + 1 = 5
3 to the second power is 9 + 1 = 10
4 to the second power is 16 + 1 = 17
5 to the second power is 25 + 1 = 26
