<h3>Question -:</h3>

The ratio of boys and girls in a classroom is 2 : 3 respectively. If the total number of children is 20. How many boys are there in the class ?

<h3>Explanation -:</h3>

In this question we are provided with the ratio of boys isto girls that is 2 : 3 it is also given that total number of children are 20. We are asked to calculate number of boys.

\green{ \small \pmb{\tt{ First  \: we  \: will \:  form  \: an \:  equation }}}

<u>Let </u><u>us </u><u>assume </u><u>the </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>girls </u><u>as </u><u>3</u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>boys </u><u>as </u><u>2</u><u>x</u><u>.</u>

Total number of children = 20

3x + 2x = 20

\orange{\small \pmb{\tt{ Now \:  we \:  will \:  solve \:  this \:  equation }}}

\small\frak{ 3x + 2x = 20}

\small\frak{ 5x = 20}

\small\frak{ x =  \dfrac{20}{5}  = 4}

\small \underline{ \boxed{\pmb{x = 4} }}  \large \: \star

Boys = 2 × 4 = 8

Girls = 3 × 4 = 12

  • Hence 8 boys and 12 girls are there in the classroom.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio constant be 'x'

=> 2x:3x

sum = 2x + 3x = 5x

Total number of boys

=>(2x/5x)20 = 8

Which equation is perpendicular to 3x - y = 9 and goes through the point (6,6)
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x - y = 9 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides

- y = - 3x + 9 ( divide all terms by - 1 )

y = 3x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{3}, thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 6) into the partial equation

6 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 2 = 8

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line
