3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be sued to solve the following problem

Given

Total fabric = 40 feet

Costumes = 8

Fabric = 15 feet

Costumes = ?

Let x be the number of costumes that can be made with 15 feet of fabric

Fabric:Costumes::Fabric:costumes\\40:8::15:x\\\frac{40}{8} = \frac{15}{x}\\40x = 15*8\\40x = 120

Dividing both sides by 40

\frac{40x}{40} = \frac{120}{40}\\x = 3

Hence,

3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

PLEASE I AM ASKING FOR HELP DESPERATELY! Which is NOT a good reason to establish a positive credit history?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of establishing a good credit history is to show that you are able to handle money. The higher your credit score is, the more responsible you are with money.

You can build good credit history by making payments with a credit card and repaying your purchases. It shows that if the bank were to give you a larger sum of money, you would pay it back.

As such, B is incorrect. The purpose of credit relates to purchases. A is obviously correct for this reason. C is correct because banks are likely to put less interest, as interest correlates to the score (lower credit score, higher interest). D is correct because banks allow you to obtain credit cards with better rates if your credit score is high enough.

Employers cannot determine your qualification for a job based on a credit score. Some states even prohibit this. For this reason, B is incorrect.

Can Some one please help me on these math questions<br><br>I'll give 20 points please
MArishka [77]

Answer:

☐ -2 < 2x + 4

☐ -3x - 2 > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 2 > 5

+ 2 + 2

___________

-3x > 7

___ ___

-3 -3

x < -2⅓ [Anytime you <em>divide</em> or <em>multiply</em> by a negative, reverse the inequality symbol.]

-2 < 2x + 4

-4 - 4

___________

-6 < 2x

__ ___

2 2

-3 < x

If you plug in -3 for <em>x < -2</em><em>⅓</em><em>,</em><em> </em>you will see that it is a genuine statement because the more higher a negative gets, the lesser the integer will be, so in this case, -3 IS <em>less</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>-2⅓.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

** If it is not multi-select, then choose <em>-2 < 2x + </em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

The ratio of boys to girls in the ninth grade is 6:5. If there are 185 girls in the class, how many boys are there.
FrozenT [24]
There are 222 boys in the class. You find this by dividing 185 by 5 which gets you 37, so you have to multiply the 6 by 37 to find the amount of boys.
