Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By knowing that 1/3 is the probability of being in the class, you can find that 12 girls and 6 boys would sound perfect to the question. Mathematically you would solve it by 12/0.33333 and it equals 18 of total number of students. If you need more help text me on insta it's jason_lee093

The ratio of Wei Ling's age to Wei Xuan's age 5 years ago was 2: 5. In 9 years

Archy [21]

Answer:

15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by defining the variables that we are going to use throughout our working:

Let the current age of Wei Ling and Wei Xuan be L and X years old respectively.

Next, form equations using the given information.

5 years ago

Wei Ling: (L -5) years old

Wei Xuan: (X -5) years old

Given that the ratio of Wei Ling's age to that of Wei Xuan's is 2: 5,

$\frac{ L - 5}{X - 5} = \frac{2}{5}$

Cross multiply:

2(X -5)= 5(L -5)

Expand:

2X -10= 5L -25

2X= 5L -25 +10

2X= 5L -15 -----(1)

9 years time

Wei Ling: (L +9) years old

Wei Xuan: (X +9) years old

Given that the ratio of Wei Ling's age to that of Wei Xuan is 3: 4,

$\frac{L + 9}{X + 9} = \frac{3}{4}$

Cross multiply:

3(X +9)= 4(L +9)

Expand:

3X +27= 4L +36

3X= 4L +36 -27

3X= 4L +9 -----(2)

Let's solve using the elimination method.

(1) ×3:

6X= 15L -45 -----(3)

(2) ×2:

6X= 8L +18 -----(4)

(3) -(4):

6X -6X= 15L -45 -(8L +18)

0= 15L -45 -8L -18

0= 7L -63

7L= 63

L= 63 ÷7

L= 9

Substitute L= 9 into (1):

2X= 5(9) -15

2X= 45 -15

2X= 30

X= 30 ÷2

X= 15

Thus, Wei Xuan is 15 years old now.

There are three points on a line, A, B, and C, so that AB = 12 cm, BC = 13.5 cm. Find the length of the segment AC . Give all po

Semmy [17]

Answer:

AC = 25.5 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are on a line and they are in the order ABC

AB + BC = AC

12+13.5 = AC

25.5 = AC

If they are on a line and they are in the order CAB

CA + AB = BC

AC + 12 =13.5

AC = 13.5 -12

AC = 1.5

If they are on a line and they are in the order ACB

That would mean that AB is greater than BC and that is not the case

QUESTION Today, everything at a store is on sale! The store offers a 20% discount.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

18x0.20 = 3.6 18-3.6 = 14.4

anwser- $14.40

Step-by-step explanation:

18 is the original price of the shirt, and 20% is the discount. You can write the discount as 0.20 because it is the same as 20/100. To get the discount you have to multiply the original price and the discount, 18x0.20, 3.6. 3.6 is the discount price which means, it is not the final price because it only is 20% of 18. To check, multiply 3.6 by 5 becuse 100%= 1 and 5 times 0.2 equals to 100% (1). 3.6 x5 = 18. To get the final price, subtract 3.6 from 18 so the dicount can be added to the final price. Hope this helps :)
