We can setup an equation for this.

Boys to Girls = 2:7
Boys =  x
Girls = 250+x
Setup the ratio 
 x:(250+x) = 2:7
x / (250+x) = 2/7
7x = 500+2x
7x-2x = 500
x = 500/5 =100

There are 100 boys at the concert

Answer:

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

At a country concert, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 2:7

Let 'b' be the number of boys in the concert

there are 250 more girls than boys

so b+250 are the number of girls in the concert

the ratio of boys to girls is b: b+250

Now make a proportion using the ratio

\frac{2}{7} =\frac{b}{b+250}

Now solve for b . cross multiply the fraction

(b+250) \cdot 2= 7 \cdot b

2b+500= 7b

Subtract 2b from both sides

5b= 500

Divide both sides by 5

b=100

So there are 100 boys at the concert

In the figure, TS = 8, SR = 4, and QR = 2, what is the length of PQ?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

d. 22

Step-by-step explanation:

(PQ + QR) × QR = (TS + SR) × SR => two secants intersecting theorem

PQ = ?

QR = 2

TS = 8

SR = 4

Plug in the values

(PQ + 2) × 2 = (8 + 4) × 4

2PQ + 4 = 12 × 4

2PQ + 4 = 48

2PQ + 4 - 4 = 48 - 4

2PQ = 44

2PQ/2 = 44/2

PQ = 22
