In order to obtain a ratio of boys to girls equal to 3:5, the number of boys has to be written as 3 x and the number of girls as 5 x where x is a common factor to the number of girls and the number of boys. The total number of boys and girls is 600. Hence 

<span>3x + 5x = 600 </span>

Solve for x 

<span>8x = 600 </span>

<span>x = 75 </span>

Number of boys 

<span>3x = 3 × 75 = 225 </span>

Number of girls 

<span>5x = 5 × 75 = 375</span>

3x+5x=600\\&#10;8x=600\\&#10;x=75\\\\&#10;3x=3\cdot75=225\leftarrow \text{boys}\\&#10;5x=5\cdot75=375\leftarrow \text{girls}

soldier1979 [14.2K]

4/5 = 80%

2/3 = 66.66666...%

4/5 is a bigger fraction, so (4/5) x 45 is a bigger fraction.

Which of the following shows the length of the third side, in inches, of the triangle below? (1 point)
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

2, sqrt of 7633

Step-by-step explanation:

for now, we'll leave the 3rd side as x

y using the Pythagorean theorem, we can conclude that (1) 48^2+x^2=73^2 or (2) 48^2+73^2=x^2.

1. If we conclude the x isn't the longest, the x would be 3025 which is the sqrt of 55, now is invalid because the 2 smallest sides can't be more than the longest side when they add up 55+48>73 so that is invalid

2. Then, it leaves us with only 1 choice left! concluding that the 3rd side is the longest. Which the answer is sqrt of 7633

How many solutions does this system have?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

There can be 0, 1 or infinitely many solutions. 0 if they are parallel and are different lines, 1 if the slopes are different, and infinitely many if they are the same line.

2x - 4y = 8

x + y = 7

Change to y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x - 2

y = -x + 7

The slopes are different so there is 1 solution.

Hope this helps Please mark as brainliest and have a blessed day
