$8x-amount\ of\ boys\\7x-amount\ of\ girls\\\\8x+7x=195\\
15x=195\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 15\\x=13\\\\
8x=8*13=104\\
7x=7*13=91\\\\
\textbf{There\ are\ 104\ boys\ and\ 91\ girls.}$

Answer:

$m=\sqrt{2}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is given that the triangle is a right angle isosceles triangle (angles are 45°, 45° and 90°). This means that the two shorter sides of the triangle are equal in length and that the side $m$ can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ .

$m^{2}+m^{2}=2^{2}$ (The two shorter sides of the triangle are equivalent)

$2m^{2}=4$

$m^{2}=2$

$m=\sqrt{2}$ inches

I hope this helps :)

Find the percent of increase or decrease? 2.5y to 1.5y

horsena [70]

Answer:

From 2.5 y to 1.5 y there is a 40 % DECREASE in the value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the initial value = 2.5 y

The final value of 1.5 y

Now,as Final Value < Initial Value

So, there is a DECREASE IN THE VALUE.

Now, decrease in the value = Initial value - Final Value

= 2.5 y = 1.5 y = 1 y

or, there is a decrease of ( 1 y) in the given value.

Now, Percentage decrease in the value is given as:

$\textrm{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{\textrm{The decrease in the value}}{\textrm{The initial Value}} \times 100\\ = \frac{1 y}{2.5 y} \times 100 = 40$
