Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)
(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1
4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1
0= x²-8x
x²-8x=0
x²=8x
x=8
Solution to the question:
Number of blocks stacked: 30
Height of tower: 64 inches
Height of each block: ?
To find the height of each block, we divide the total height of the tower with the number of blocks stacked
Therefore,
Height of each block: 64/30 = 2.13 inches
So, the height of each block is 2.13 inches.
Answer:
0 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
17.5x12=210
210 divided by 14=15
15x2.50=37.5
37.5
17.5 is feet so you need to divide by 12 for inches which gets 210 and you need each necklace to be 14 inches so you need to divide 210 by 14 which is 15 each necklace costs 2.50 so you multiply 2.50x15
You get 37.5
