Answer: There were 135 boy campers and 90 girl campers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "b" the number of boys campers and "g" the number of girl campers.

Given the following ratio of the number of boy campers to girl campers:

9:6

We know that for every 9 boys campers there were 6 girl camper; if we add them we get this sum:

9+6=15\ campers

Knowing that there were a total of  225 campers, we can set up the following proportion in order to find the value of "b". Then, solving for "b" we get:

\frac{9}{15}=\frac{b}{225}\\\\b=(225)(\frac{9}{15})\\\\b=135

Finally, we get that the number of girl campers was:

g=225-135=90

Find the area. Round to the nearest tenth.<br>6 ft<br>3 ft<br>12.16 ft<br>9.16 ft<br>​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

100.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle

A = l*w

A = 12.16 * 6

A =72.96 ft^2

Then find the area of the triangle

A = 1/2 bh

The base is 12 ft - 6ft = 6ft

The height is 9.16 ft

A = 1/2 ( 9.16) * 6

A = 27.48 ft^2

Add them together

27.48+72.96

100.44 ft^2

Round to the nearest tenth

100.5 ft^2

Artist 52 [7]
The answer for the exercise shown above is the option  B, which is: x^{7} -4 x^{5} +2 x^{4} +4 x^{3}- 10
 
The explanation is shown below:
 To list the powers of the polynomial given in the problem above in descending order, you must write the terms from the highest degree to the lowest degree. You have that the highest degree is 7&#10; and the lowest degree is 0&#10;(Because -10 x^{0} =-10(1)=-10. Therefore, you have that the correct option is the option B.
