The value of y in the triangle is 7.5

<h3>How to calculate the value of y?</h3>

The given parameter is the triangle

On the triangle, we have the following equivalent ratio

y : 8 = y + 15 : 20

Express as fraction

y/8 = y + 15/20

Cross multiply

20y = 8y + 90

Collect the like terms

20y - 8y = 90

Evaluate

12y = 90

Divide by 12

y = 7.5

Hence, the value of y in the triangle is 7.5

The ratio of girls to boys in Liza’s classroom is 5 to 4. How many girls are in her classroom if there is a total of 27 students

andrezito [222]

Answer:

$15\ girls$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of girls

y-----> the number of boys

we know that

$x+y=27$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4}$

isolate the variable y

$y=\frac{4}{5}x$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

$x+\frac{4}{5}x=27$

$\frac{9}{5}x=27$

$x=5*27/9=15\ girls$

You make an x= ... equation by moving 2y to the other side and /3 (in the first equation) then you fill in x into the second equation and you calculate y. If you have Y you fill it in in the first equation.
