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

Area= length*width

Plug in what you know. 

144= 24*width

Divide both sides by 24. 

width= 6 meters.

Find the points of intersection of the line x = 3 + 2t, y = 5 + 8t, z = −6 + t, that is, l(t) = (3 + 2t, 5 + 8t, −6 + t), with t
blsea [12.9K]
See, please, suggested decision:
When the line intersects the xy-plane, then parameter z=0, when does the xz - y=0 and when does yz, x=0. All the details are in attachment.
If it's possible, check arithmetic part.
