We know that pupils are students

Students = S
boys = B
Teachers = T

So....

S = 8T
Boys = 3G
T = B - 70

Since there is 8x students than teachers, I did Boys = 6x and girls = 2x

I'm going to use this next: S = 8T

8x = 8(B -70)

8x = 8(6x - 70)

8x = 4x - 560

x = 14

We know there is 8x students, so there are 112 students and we know that there is 1/8 of teachers, so there are 14 teachers.

Answer = 126.

The correct order would be:

5/64 x 3, 1/16 x 3, 3/32 x 4, 11/64 x 4, 7/16 x 3, 3/4 x 2, 3/8 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4, 2.25 x 2, 1.5 x 4, 3 3/8 x 3, 3.75 x 3

First we have to take all of the numbers and do the multiplication. It's often easiest to turn them in to decimals so that you have a common form.

3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375

3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5

1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75

2.25 x 2 = 4.5

1.5 x 4 = 6

3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5

5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156

3.75 x 3 = 11.25

1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875

7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31

3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125

11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687

Now we can use those to put in order.

5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156

1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875

3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375

11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687

7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31

3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5

3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5

1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75

2.25 x 2 = 4.5

1.5 x 4 = 6

3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125

3.75 x 3 = 11.25

Which if you are looking for without the extra terms, you can check the answer at the top.

What ratio forms a proportion with 14/42?<br> A. 1/4<br> B. 7/21<br> C. 12/40<br> D. 28/80
koban [17]

Hey there!

"What ratio forms a proportion with \frac{14}{42} ?"

              - \frac{14}{45} =0.56 (for the decimal)

  • A) \frac{1}{4} =0.25 (incorrect)
  • B) \frac{7}{21} =0.33 (Incorrect)
  • C) \frac{12}{40} 0.3 (incorrect)
  • D) \frac{28}{80} 0.7 (incorrect)

But in order for you to solve this particular equation you'd have to go in with two (like multiplying by two)

  • 1\times2= 2 ;   4\times2 = 8 (incorrect)
  • 7\times 2= 14 ; 21\times2 = 42 (correct)
  • 12 \times2 = 24 ; 40\times 2 = 80 (incorrect)
  • 2 \times 28 = 56 ; 2\times 80 = 160 (incorrect)

Your result: \boxed{Answer: B. \frac{7}{21} }

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
