Answer:

75 more girls.

Explanation:-

Given:- Ratio of girls to boys = 5:3

And, the number of boys= 300

Let boys be 4x and girls be 5x

So, 4x = 300 (Given)

x = 300/4 = 75

Thus number of girls:- 5x = 5×75= 375 girls

now you take the 375 girls minus the 300 boys.

375-300 = 75 Girls more

A code is formed using four of these letters: A, B, I, K, N, O, and T. (Note that the order of the letters in the code matters;

oksano4ka [1.4K]

To answer this question, use permutation since the order of the letter matters. There are 7 letters and only 4 are to be used for the code. This is a permutation of 7 taken 4 (7P4) which is equal to 840. Thus, the sample space is 840.
For the next questions, there are 3 vowels for as the first letter, only 6 letters are available for the second, 5 on the next, and 4 on the last. Multiplying these numbers give 360. To solve for probability, divide this number with the sample space. Thus, the answer is 3/7.
