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/Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that passes through the two points would be correct if each point, when substituted into the equation, satisfy the equation.

This is what I mean:

Given the equation of the line, y = 2x - 5, and the two points (-2, -9) and (3, 1):

For the first point, substitute x = -2, and y = -9 into y = 2x - 5.

Thus:

-9 = 2(-2) - 5

-9 = -4 - 5

-9 = -9 (this is true). It means the line runs through the point (-2, -9)

For the second point, substitute x = 3, and y = 1 into y = 2x - 5

This:

1 = 2(3) - 5

1 = 6 - 5

1 = 1 (this is true). This also means the point, (3, 1) is also a point that the equation runs across.
