<span>With a boys to girls ratio of 8:7, this means 8/15 of the campers are boys and 7/15 of the campers are girls.
We are told that there are 195 total campers.
To find # of boys: 195 (the total # of campers) x 8/15 (fraction of the campers that are boys) = 104 boys
To find # of girls: 195 (total # of campers) x 7/15 (fraction of the campers that are girls) = 91 girls
Note: If you do not know how to multiply by fractions, let me know, I have another trick that takes more time but doesn't require the use of fractions.

Answer: option D. 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
Explanation:
1) polynomials given:
f(x) = x/2 - 2 and g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3
2) question: find (f + g) (x)
That means that f(x) + g(x), so you have to add up the two polynomials given.
3) x/2 - 2 + 2x^2 + x - 3
4) Combine like terms:
a) terms with x^2: you only have 2x^2, so it is not combined with other term.
b) terms with x: x/2 + x
that is a sum of fractions: x/2 + x = [x + 2x] / 2 = 3x / 2 = (3/2)x
c) constant terms: - 2 + (-3) = - 2 - 3 = - 5
5) Result: 2x^2 + (3/2)x - 5
That is the option d.
The answer would be the top one and the 3rd one
Y=5a-3b
Y=5(12)-3(4)
Y=60-12
Y=48
You don't have a sign between b and c in the equation, so I cannot help you with the last operation
