Answer:

Ratio of girls to STUDENTS is 4 to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given is that there are 12 boys and 16 girls in the classroom. The question is not about the ratio of girls to boys but about the ratio of girls to STUDENTS. You need to add the amount of girls plus the amount of boys to get the total amount of students.

Girls to Students

16 to 28 (12 +16)

Simplify 16:28 by dividing each number by 4

Answer is 4:7

The unsimplified version is 12:16
you have to find the highest common factor in them
in this case it would be 4
divide both numbers by 4
3:4

hope this helps you

Lucy plans to spend between $50 and $60, inclusive, on packages of beads and packages of charms. If she buys 5 packages of beads

worty [1.4K]

She can buy maximum of $5$ packages while staying within her budget.

Minimum spending limit $=$ $ $50$ .

Maximum spending limit $=$ $ $60$ .

Cost of one package of beads $=$ $ $4.95$ .

Number of packages of beads bought $= 5$ .

Cost of one package of charms $=$ $ $6.55$ .

Let the number of packages of beads bought be $x$ .

$4.956 \times 5 + x \times 6.55 \geq 50$

$24.78+6.55x\geq 50$

$6.55x\geq 25.22$

$x\geq 3.85$

$4.956 \times 5 + x \times 6.55 \leq 60$

$24.78+6.55x\leq 60$

$6.55x\leq 35.22$

$x\leq 5.38$

So, she can buy maximum of $5$ packages while staying within her budget.
