If the ratio of boys to girls at the school is 2:5 and there are 40 boys how many girls are there?
1 answer:
Answer:
100 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys : girls is 2 : 5.
In other words, boys are 2 parts of the school while girls are 5 parts of the school.
Since there are 40 boys, 2 parts of the school is 40. Thus:
1 part is 20.
Since there are 5 parts girls, there are
100 girls.
Answer: 100 girls

Hi!
I think for b, the answer would be:
You can construct an angle that is one fourth the measure of angle JKL, by dividing angle either angle MKL or JKM in half.
This is because one-fourth is also equal to one quarter (1/4). If you split angle JKL into 4 equal angles, you would have an angle that is one-fourth the measure (original angle) of angle JKL.
I think for c, the answer would be:
You can construct a 15 degree angle from a given 60 degree angle, by dividing the 60 degree angle into 4 equal angles.
This would work, because each of the 4 angles would be 15 degrees.
Hope this helps! Best of luck!
