Salutations!

The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:4. if there are 180 students, how many girls are there?

Let the number of girls and boys be 'x'.

 $5x + 4x = 180$

Add 5 and 4

 $9x = 180$

 $x = 20$

Now, multiply the ratios by 20.

Boys = 20 × 5 = 100

Girls = 20 × 4 = 80.

There were 80 girls.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

The graph of quantities in direct proportion.

Is a straight line passing through the origin, thus

the line always crosses the y- axis at |(0, 0 )

Thus the y- intercept is 0

How do you simplify these problems ?

Dmitry [639]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents}\\\\a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n}\qquad \qquad\cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n}\qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\\cfrac{2x^3y^3}{4y^2}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\cdot \cfrac{x^3y^3}{y^2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot x^3y^3y^{-2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot x^3y^{3-2}\implies \cfrac{x^3y}{2}\\\\~\dotfill\\\\$

$\bf \left(\cfrac{x^{-8}}{y^{11}} \right)^{-2}\implies \left(\cfrac{y^{11}}{x^{-8}} \right)^2\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the exponent}}{\left( \cfrac{y^{11\cdot 2}}{x^{-8\cdot 2}} \right)}\\\\\\\cfrac{y^{22}}{x^{-16}}\implies y^{22}x^{16}\\\\~\dotfill$

$\bf \cfrac{(2x^3)(x^4)^2}{8x^{11}}\implies \cfrac{(2x^3)(x^{4\cdot 2})}{8x^{11}}\implies \cfrac{2x^3x^8}{8x^{11}}\implies \cfrac{2x^{3+8}}{8x^{11}}\implies \cfrac{2x^{11}}{8x^{11}}\\\\\\\cfrac{2}{8}\cdot \cfrac{x^{11}}{x^{11}}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{1}{4}$

OGD Electronics Store buys digital cameras from the manufacturer at $193.55. It then marks them

inessss [21]

Answer : The selling price when you visit the store will be, $435.49

Step-by-step explanation :

Given:

Cost price = $193.55

Profit percent = 125 %

First we have to calculate the total profit.

Total profit = $\$ 193.55\times 125\%$

Total profit = $\$ 193.55\times \frac{125}{100}$

Total profit = $241.94

Now we have to calculate the selling price.

Selling price = Cost price + Total profit

Selling price = $193.55 + $241.94

Selling price = $435.49

Therefore, the selling price when you visit the store will be, $435.49

HEEELLLPPP PLEEAAASEEE

Pavel [41]

Answer:

B. y = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Diane's average speed= 25/y km/h.

Ed's speed= (25/y) - 6 km/h.

Ed walks 25-3 = 22 km.

Consider Ed's journey:

Speed = distance / time so:

(25/y) - 6 = 22 / (y + 3) ( 3 hours longer = y + 3)

(25 /y - 6)(y + 3) = 22

25 + 75/y - 6y - 18 = 22

6y - 75/y = 25 - 18 - 22

6y - 75/y + 15 = 0

6y^2 + 15y - 75 = 0

2y^2 + 5y - 25 = 0

(2y - 5 )(y + 5) = 0

y = 2.5, -5.

y = 2.5 ( as it must be positive.
