6 less a number implies 6 decreased by a certain number
that would be 6-n where n is the number

6 less than a number implies a number decreased by 6
that would be n-6 where n is the number

so they probably don't mean the same thing

A grade has 81 girls and 72 boys. The grade is spilt into groups that have the same ratio of boys to girls as the whole grade. H
MariettaO [177]
There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.

16*1.125=18

So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.

Angie and Becky each completed a separate proof to show that the measures of vertical angles AKG and HKB are equal. Who complete
Helga [31]

Answer:

Becky, because her justification for the second statement should be "definition of supplementary angles" rather than "angle addition postulate."

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky completed the proof incorrectly because her justification for the second statement is not totally correct.

Angle addition postulate does not really apply here, as the sum of 2 angles may not give you exactly 180°.

However, the second statement, m<AKG + m<GKB = 180° and m<GKB + m<HKB = 180°, can be justified by the "Definition of Supplementary Angles".

The sum of supplementary angles = 180°.

Therefore, Becky completed the proof incorrectly.
