Mathematics

Gwar [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of girls in Liza's classroom

y ----> the number of boys in Liza's classroom

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4}  

x=\frac{5}{4}y -----> equation A

x+y=27 ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

\frac{5}{4}y+y=27

solve for y

\frac{9}{4}y=27

y=27(4)/9\\\\y=12\ boys

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=\frac{5}{4}(12)=15\ girls

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ewen has 48 white tiles and 16 blue tiles

The cost of each white tile was £2

The cost of each blue tile was £4

Therefore the total cost of 48 white tiles is

= 48×2

= £96

The total cost of 16 blue tiles is

= 16×4

= £64

The ratio of the total cost of the white tiles and blue tile can be calculated by dividing the cost of both tiles by their greatest common factor

The greatest common factor of £96 and £64 is 32

96/32 = 3

64/32= 2

Ratio= 3:2

Hence the ratio of the total cost of the white tiles to the blue tiles is 3:2

What is the surface area of the prism? A rectangular prism with a length of 3 meters, width of 4 meters, and height of 2 meters.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

52m²

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you would consider each face of the figure as a rectangle, and then multiply it by two.

Face 1:

3m×4m×2=24m²

Face 2:

4m×2m×2=16m²

Face 3:

3m×2m×2=12m²

Then you add each of them together to get the overall surface area

12m²+16m²+24m²=52m²

Therefore the final surface area is 52m²
