The Ratio of boys to girls at a middle school is 3:2. If the school has 400 people how many will be boys?

2 answers:

5 0

You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-)

You can check it by simplifying it again.

240 people are boys
1.You have to find the total of boys and girls there are by adding 3 with 2. (5)
2. You have to divide 400 by 5. (80)
3. You have to multiply 80 by 3 to get the amount of boys there are in 400 people. (240)

Combine like terms 7a - a+ 16 = ?

6a+16

Explanation:
If there's just a variable, there's an understood 1 in front of it. So what that really says is:

7a-1a+16

So, you combine the a's. 7a minus 1a is 6a. Same as 7-1,but you have a variable stuck on the end of it.

6a+16
