Boys : Girls : Total    
  5     :  7      : 5 + 7 
  5 .   ;  7 .    : 12

-------------------------------------
Find 1 part :
-------------------------------------
12 parts = 36 
1 part = 36 ÷ 12
1 part = 3

-------------------------------------
Find number of boys (5 parts)
-------------------------------------
1 part = 3
5 parts = 3 x 5 
5 parts = 15


-------------------------------------
Answer: There are 15 boys.

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

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)
QveST [7]
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula.  The midpoint of a segment joining points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)

So the midpoint of your segment is

\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points.  Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.

Find the optimal solution for the following problem. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Maximize C =9x + 7y

8x + 10y \leq 17

11x + 12y\leq 25

and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Plot the lines on graph

8x + 10y \leq 17

11x + 12y\leq 25

x\geq 0

y\geq 0

So, boundary points of feasible region are (0,1.7) , (2.125,0) and (0,0)

Substitute the points in  Maximize C

At  (0,1.7)

Maximize C =9(0) + 7(1.7)

Maximize C =11.9

At  (2.125,0)

Maximize C =9(2.125) + 7(0)

Maximize C =19.125

At   (0,0)

Maximize C =9(0) + 7(0)

Maximize C =0

So, Maximum value is attained at   (2.125,0)

So, the optimal value of x is 2.125

The optimal value of y is 0

The maximum value of the objective function is 19.125

How can i do this? i’m not good with slope at all
andrey2020 [161]
Answer:
Slope formula: (b) m = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
Point-Slope Formula: (c) y – y1 = m (x – x1)
Slope Intercept Form: (a) y = mx + b

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

18ft wide and 33 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long.

The Area of the carpeting she must have = 594 ft²

To solve for this, we have:

Length × Width = Area of a rectangle

594ft² = Length × Width

594ft² = (20 - x) (35 - x)

594 = 700 - 20x - 35x + x²

594 = 700 - 55x + x²

Collect like terms

x² - 55x + 700 - 594

x² - 55x + 106

We factorise

x² - 2x - 53x + 106

(x² - 2x) -(53x + 106)

x(x - 2) -53(x - 2)

(x - 2)(x - 53)

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x - 53 = 0, x = 53

We choose the least value for x

Hence, x = 2

Length = 20 - 2 = 18ft

Width = 35 - 2 = 33ft

The dimensions the rug should have is 18ft by 33ft, meaning 18ft wide and 33 ft long
