Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

Point b is between points a and C. AB=2x+5 and BC=5x-1. What is the length of AB
telo118 [61]

Answer: AB = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint,  AB and BC must be congruent (since theyre both half of the segment). The equation is:

2x + 5 = 5x - 1

This means x = 2, meaning AB is 9.

Francine ran 3 1/2 laps around the circular track in the school gym. The track has a diameter of 1/2 miles. About how far does F
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Francine run 5.495 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Francine ran  3\frac{1}{2}  laps around the circular track in the school gym.

The track has a diameter of 1/2 miles.

To Find :  About how far does Francine run?

Solution :

First we need to calculate the perimeter of circular track :

Perimeter of circle :  2\pi r

Since we are given the diameter = 1/2 miles = 0.5 miles

So, Radius will be (Diameter/2) = 0.5/2 = 0.25 miles

So, The perimeter will be:

2\pi *0.25

0.5\pi

Since \pi =3.14

⇒0.5*3.14

⇒1.57

Thus the circular track is of 1.57 miles .

Since she ran   3\frac{1}{2}  = 7/2=3.5 laps

1 lap = 1.57 miles

So, 3.5 laps = 1.57*3.5 =5.495 miles .

Hence ,  Francine run 5.495 miles
