Answer:

number of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 5 : 7

Sum of the ratio is 12

The total students in the class is 36 students which include girls and boys.

since the ratio of boys to girls is known the number of boys and the number of girls can be computed.

Total student = 36

number of boys = 5/12 × 36

number of boys = 5 × 3

number of boys = 15

The number of girls = 36 - 15 = 21

louise skip counts by 4 on a number line to find 5 x 4 how many jumps should she draw in the number line
saul85 [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

It depends:

  • 4 if she starts at 4
  • 5 if she starts at 0
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Louise needs to end up a total of 5 times 4 away from zero.

If she starts at 4, which is 1 times 4, then she needs to jump 4 more times, to 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4.

If she starts at 0, then she needs to jump 5 times to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4. (The values at the end of each jump will be {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}.)
