Answer:

Number of boys in 7th grade=34 boys

Number of girls in 7th grade=51 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of students in 7th grade=Number of boys+Number of girls

where;

Total number of students in 7th grade=85 students

Number of boys=x

Number of girls=(1 1/2)×Number of boys=(3/2)×x=1.5x

Replacing;

85=x+1.5x

2.5x=85

x=85/2.5

x=34

Number of boys=x=34

Number of girls=1.5x=1.5×34=51

Number of boys in 7th grade=34 boys

Number of girls in 7th grade=51 girls

patriot [66]
<span>Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

If we want to get a full understanding of this question we must use the information given.

If renting the canoe cost $80 per 2 hours, to get 1 hour we must divide $80 by 2.

</span>\frac{80}{2}=40

or $40

We can also use $160 and 4 hours

\frac{160}{4}=40

or $40

So the rate per hour is $40
