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

Answer:

The IQR describes the middle 50% of values when ordered from lowest to highest. To find the interquartile range (IQR), ​first find the median (middle value) of the lower and upper half of the data. These values are quartile 1 (Q1) and quartile 3 (Q3). The IQR is the difference between Q3 and Q1.

What is the measure of an angle if it is 260 degrees less than six times its own complement?
poizon [28]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90.

y = 90 - x

The angle is 260 degrees less than six times its complement.

y = 6x - 260

90 - x = 6x - 260

350 - x = 6x

350 = 7x

50 = x

This is the measure of the complement.

y = 90 - x

y = 90 - 50

y = 40

This is the measure of the first angle.

In a class of students, the following data table summarizes
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have t as a total amount of the whole class.

f= did not pass and you place the total number next to it like this;  f/t represents that group. You continue this in your workings.

f/t = probability failed.

p/t = probability passed

c/t = probability completed

dc/t = probability did not complete

and draw a tree.

The random would be either of these, we know there s a possibility of 1/4 but the odds stay central. We look for a new way after this data is converted as a  fraction and show these fractions as your answer.
