Step 1

Let n represent car and m represent motorcycles.

n + m = 50 ...................1

car has four wheels and motorcycle has two wheels

4n + 2m = 164 .............................. 2

Step 2

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

from (1), make n subject of relation and substitute in equation 2.

n = 50 - m

Step 3

Substitute n in equation 2

4(50 - m) + 2m = 164

200 - 4m + 2m = 164

collect like terms

200 - 164 = 4m - 2m

36 = 2m

m = 36/2

m = 18

next find n

n = 50 - m

n = 50 - 18

n = 32

There are 32 cars and 18 motorcycles.

H = 2sqrt2
D = 6sqrt3

In a 45,45,90 triangle the hypotenuse is (x)sqrt2 while the side lengths are equivalent being a single value x. Therefore, when given the hypotenuse and solving for the leg, divide 4 by sqrt2 to get 4sqrt2/2 which simplifies to 2sqrt2 when the denominator and numerator cancel.

In a 30,60,90 triangle the short leg x is across from the 30 degree angle meaning the angle across from the 60 degree angle is x times the sqrt of 3. Therefore the long leg is 6sqrt3

The ratio of boys to girls in the Science Club is 3.5. If there are 60 girls, how many boys are there?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                            3

Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as  --------

                                                             5

Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.  

How many are in the club altogether?  Let this count be represented by c.  Then (5/8)c = 60.

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:

c = (8/5)(60) = 96.  Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.

3/8 of this number are boys.  This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.

We could also solve this problem in the following manner:

 3          b

------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.

  5        60

Then 5b = 180.  Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys
