Answer:

a) 952

b) 136

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratio of b:g = 3:4, based on this we have:</u>

  • Number of boys = 3x
  • Number of girls = 4x
  • Total number of pupils = 3x+4x = 7x

<u>Number of spectacle wearers:</u>

  • 1/3*3x + 3/8*4x = x + 3/2x = 2.5x

<u>Number of those not wearing spectacles:</u>

  • 7x - 2.5x= 4.5x

<u>And this number equals to 612, then we can find the value of x:</u>

  • 4.5 x = 612
  • x= 612/4.5
  • x= 136

a) T<u>otal number of pupils:</u>

  • 7x = 7*136 = 952

b)<u> The difference in the number of boys and girls:</u>

  • 4x-3x= x = 136

Answer:

total number of students: 952

number of girls more than boys :136 more girls

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of boys +3/8 girls= spectacles

612 people do not wear spectacles

3:4= boys: girls

total number of students

3+4=7

boys + girls = total ratio

7= total ratio

1/3×3=1 3/8×4=3/2

1+3/2=5/2

7-5/2=9/2 9/2=612 students

If 9/2=612 Then 7=?

7= 7÷ 9/2×612

=952 people

Girls more than boys

if 7= 952

3= 3/7 × 952=408 boys

if 7 = 952

4= 4/7 ×952=544girls

Girls - boys

544- 408 = 136 girls

Identifying Equivalent Expressions
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Option c, d and e are equivalent expressions to 7x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Which expressions are equivalent to 7x - 14

Equivalent Expressions:

<em>The expressions that are the same, even if the expression looks different.</em>

<em>For example: 2x^2+4 is equivalent to 2(x^2+2) because solving 2(x^2+2) we get 2x^2+4</em>

Now, finding equivalent to expressions 7x - 14

Option a) 14 - 7x

Not equivalent to 7x-14

Option b) x-2

Not equivalent to 7x-14

Option c) -(14 – 7x)

Simplifying: -14+7x so, equivalent to 7x-14

Option d) (x - 2)

Simplifying: 7x-14 so, equivalent to 7x-14

Option e) - 14 + 4x

Simplifying: 3x+4x-14 = 7x-14, so, equivalent to 7x-14

Option f) 2x - 10 + 5x + 4

Simplifying: 2x+5x-10+4 = 7x-6 so, Not equivalent to 7x-14

So, Option c, d and e are equivalent expressions to 7x-14
