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:

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 a counterexample to show that the statement is false. Assume all sets are subsets of a universal set U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. (

natka813 [3]

Answer:

For subsets A={1,2},B={2,3},C={1,2 5} of U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

A ∪ (B − C) = (A ∪ B) − (A ∪ C) does not hold.

Step-By-Step Explanation:

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

A={1,2}

B={2,3}

C={1,2 5}

For the Left Hand Side

B-C={3}

A ∪ (B − C)= {1,2} ∪ {3} ={1,2,3}

Likewise, the Right Hand Side:

(A ∪ B)={1,2,3}

(A ∪ C)={1,2,5}

(A ∪ B)- (A ∪ C)= {1,2,3}-{1,2,5}={3}

Since, {1,2,3} ≠ {3}, A ∪ (B − C) = (A ∪ B) − (A ∪ C) does not hold.

Jocelyn is training for a race by running several miles each day. she tracks her progress by recording her average speed in minu

Luden [163]

Finding the regression equation, her average speed on the 9th day should be expected to be of 6.92 minutes per mile.

<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>

To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.

Researching the problem on the internet, the values of x and y are given as follows:

Values of x: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Values of y: 8.2, 8.1, 7.5, 7.8, 7.4, 7.5.

Hence, using a calculator, the equation for the average minutes per mile after t days is given by:

V(t) = -0.15143t + 8.28

Hence, for the 9th day, t = 9, hence the estimate is:

V(9) = -0.15143(9) + 8.28 = 6.92 minutes per mile.

Please answer both of these questions. :) Thank you!

Answers:
Wood Question: 860 millimeters
Heigh Question: 73 centimeters

Explanations:
Wood Question: You can get this result by doing 7.74/9 because you are dividing 7.74 meters into 9 pieces and you will get 0.86, AKA 86 centimeters. Then, you need to multiply that by 10 to convert it into millimeters and 86(10) is 860.

Height Question: First, you want to do 1.46/2 and you will get 0.73. 0.73 meters is equivalent to 73 centimeters, and since you know Jaxson is two times his sister's height, you know that you can leave it at that, therefore your final answer is 73 centimeters.
