To solve this problem, KROW SDAWKCAB. (That's WORK BACKWARDS spelled backwards.)

We are told that there's a 3:2 ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders in the club. Let x be the number of 7th graders in the class. We set a proportion. The proportion puts the ratio on one side, how many students on the other. Tops are the 8th graders, bottoms are the 7th graders.

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{18}{x}

You can solve it by cross multipling or by noticing what happens between the fractions. On the top how did you go from 3 to 18? You multiplied by 6. So the same thing must happen on the bottoms, and 2 * 6 = 12.

By cross multiplying, 3x = 36 and when we divide both sides by 3, we find x = 12.

Now that we know we have 12 7th graders, we can find the number of 6th graders. The process is similar with 7th graders on bottom, 6th graders on top, and x for what we do not know.

\frac{5}{4} = \frac{x}{12}

We went from 4 to 12 by multiplying 3 on the bottom, and we repeat it on the top. So 5 * 3 = 15.


Thus, there are 15 6th graders in the club.

ANSWER
========

Ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders = 3 : 2

Let the number of graders be 3x and 2x

Number of 8th graders = 18

So , 3x = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Number of 7th graders = 2 × 6 = 12

Ratio of 6th graders to 7th graders = 5 : 4

Let the number of graders be 5a and 4a

Number of 7th graders = 12

So , 4a = 12

a = 12/4 = 3

Number of 6th graders = 5×3 = 15 ANS

Eddie built the ramp shown to train his puppy to do tricks. What is the surface area of the ramp. The dimensions are 20,20,20,23
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

3775 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the ramp :

Area of rectangle = 20 * 23 = 460 in²

Area of rectangle = 20 * 23 = 460 in²

Area of rectangle = 25 * 23 = 575 in²

Bottom rectangle = 60 * 23 = 1380 in²

For the trapezium: (front and rear)

1/2 (base 1 + base 2) * height

Base total = 20+ 20+ 20= 60

1/2(60)*15 = 450 in²

Total surface Area :

(460 + 460 + 575 + 1380 + 450 + 450) in² = 3775 in²

Pleaseeeeeeee help .......ASAP
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Center of circle = (h,k)= (3,8)

Radius = r = 5

The standard form of equation of circle with center and radius is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\Putting\ the\ values\\(x-3)^2+(y-8)^2=(5)^2\\Simplifying\\x^2+9-6x+y^2+64-16y=25\\x^2+y^2-6x-16y+9+64=25\\x^2+y^2-6x-16y+73=25\\x^2+y^2-6x-16y+73-25=0\\x^2+y^2-6x-16y+48=0

Therefore, the general form of the equation of circle given is:

x^2+y^2-6x-16y+48=0

Hence, option A is correct ..
