IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let number of girls be y

Then number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

girls only=(girl ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

There are 11 girls

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,-8) and has a slope of 4?
coldgirl [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest approach with a given point and the slope of the line is the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

so, we get

y - -8 = 4(x - -3)

y + 8 = 4(x + 3)

if we need the slope-intercept form

y = ax + b

we now simplify the point-slope form

y + 8 = 4x + 4×3 = 4x + 12

y = 4x + 4

Answer: (BRAINLIEST PLEASE)

53.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u><em>Write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle using the diameter. The formula is simply this: C = πd. In this equation, "C" represents the circumference of the circle, and "d" represents its diameter. That is to say, you can find the circumference of a circle just by multiplying the diameter by pi.</em></u></h3>

A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported such as 0.08 degr
Natalija [7]

Answer

:we are told that every year the temperature rises by 0.08degrees Centigrade,

So the difference between margin of error and the increase is much higher

That is

0.15-0.08=0.07

But remember Margin of error=Critical value *Standard deviation of population

And it is a quantity that measures accuracy

So the counter argument is that this is still an increase and it should be considered.
