Answer:

975 students

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a dense question. Let's look at it piece by piece:

1. The ratio of boys to students in the class is 10/25. If there are 25 students and 15 girls, that leaves 10 boys.

2. The question says that the ratio is in proportion of boys to total students in the school. "In proportion" in this case means that if we convert 10/25 to a fraction with numerator 390, the denominator is the amount of students in school.

3. 10x39=390. What you do the numerator you must do to the denominator: 25x39=975.

4. This means 975 students go to the school.

Denzel wants to work out the density of a block of wood the block of wood is in the shape of the cuboid
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Density = 1.094g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 17.7cm

Width = 8.3cm

Height = 13.0cm

Mass = 2090g

See attachment

Required

Determine the density of the wood

First, we calculate the volume of the wood.

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Substitute values for Length, Width and Height

Volume = 17.7cm * 8.3cm * 13.0cm

Volume = 1909.83cm^3

The density is:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density = \frac{2090g}{1909.83cm^3}

Density = 1.094g/cm^3<em> --- approximated</em>
