Answer:

15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

G : B : total

5 : 4 : 9

? :12: ?

No. of girls = (12x5)/4 = 15 girls

we put the ratio between girls and boys then we add the (total) or(sum) beside them in the same ratio then the summation of the ratio, like (5 +4 = 9) and then under the word "boys" we put the number given in the question which is (12) , now we need to know the number of girls in the class so we use the cross multiplication which i wrote at first.

by that, you can calculate no. of girls and no. of students in the whole class if you want.

1. An auto shop has 98 cans of oil at the

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

88 cans were sold, the most important variable is how much you started with and how much you ended with

Step-by-step explanation:

88 cans were sold because 98-10=88, and the most important variable is how much you started and ended with because the question asks how much were sold and you can't know that without knowing the start amount and end amount which is the 2 variables I used to get 88 in the equation (98-10)

The Equation is 98-10=88

2 questions in the 2 pictures and then im done thank you

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Hey there!

For the first question we use the triangle area formula: 1/2bh, or 1/2(8)(5). This gives us 20 for the area.

For the second question we get a trapezoid, since the cross section does not pass through the vertex.

Hope this helps :)

Help PLease! PLease explainn how to do these types of equations!

leonid [27]

Answer:

4xy See image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember for division questions to use Keep, Change, Flip. You will Keep the first term the same. Change the divide to times. And Flip the second term (turn it upside down, in math this is called the reciprocal)

Also, you need to know when you you get to the part where everything is times, then you times: top×top, and bottom×bottom.

Once everything is times, you can rearrange the order and cancel (cancel is not really the mathy thing happening, you are dividing---

x/x is 1 and y/y is 1,

10/5 is 2, 6/3 is 2) See image.

Determine (without solving the problem) an interval in which the solution of the given initial value problem is certain to exist

yuradex [85]

Answer:

0 < t < 5 is the required interval for the differential equation (t - 5)y' + (ln t)y = 6t to have a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

(t - 5)y' + (ln t)y = 6t

and the condition y(1) = 6

We can rewrite the differential equation by dividing it by (t - 5) as

y' + [(ln t)/(t - 5)]y = 6t/(t - 5)

(ln t)/(t - 5) is continuous on the interval (0, 5) and (5, +infinity).

6t/(t - 5) is continuous on (-infinity, 5) and (5, +infinity)

We see that for these expressions, we have continuity at the intervals (0, 5) and (5, +infinity).

But the initial condition is y = 6, when t = 1.

The solution to differential equation is certain to exist at (0, 5)

Which implies that

0 < t < 5

is the required interval.
