Answer:

girls = 125

boys = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the 8th grade class = 212

Let g represent girls and b represent boys

Number of girls, g = 2b -49

Note that boys and girls in the class give a total of 212

So,

g + b = 212 ....eq 1

Slot in the value of g in the equation

2b - 49 + b = 212

2b + b - 49 = 212

3b - 49 = 212

Add 49 to both sides

3b - 49 + 49 = 212 + 49

3b = 261

Divide both sides by the coefficient of b which is 3

b = 87

Now that we've found the number of boys, let's find that of girls

We will slot in the value of b in eq 1

g + 87 = 212

Subtract 87 from both sides

g + 87 - 87 = 212 - 87

g = 125

So the number of boys is 87 and the number of girls is 125

If a baker doubles recipe that call for 6-23 of flour how many cups of flour will be needed in all
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Unsure of what you mean by "6-23."  There's no subtraction in this problem.  

If you meant "6/23," then "doubling" that results in 12/23 cups.  Still, that does not look right.  Go back and ensure that you have copied down the original problem exactly.

Susan and John are buying cold drinks for a neighborhood picnic. Each person is
givi [52]

Answer:

Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we must check what each person is calculating. First, we consider Susan's method. She has suggested that we multiply the cost per soda, that is dollars/soda by the number of sodas required, we get the total cost.

Assuming that 18 sodas are required and each costs $0.20, the total cost according to Susan is $3.60.

John suggests we divide the cost of a 12 pack of soda by the number of sodas required. Considering a 12 pack of soda costs $12 and the same amount of sodas, 18, are required, we get that each soda costs $0.66.

Looking at these answers, we see that Susan has suggested a correct method to calculate the amount of money needed to buy a number of sodas. John has suggested the amount each person would have to contribute if everyone at the party was trying to buy a 12-pack of soda; regardless of whether more or less than a 12-pack is required.
