Answer:Boys=5,girls =2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the no of boys and g be the no of girls

Therefore

Sam has twice as many brothers as sisters

2g=b-1

b-2g=1--------------1

Amanda has five times as many brothers as sisters

5(g-1)=b

5g-b=5----------------2

using (1) & (2) we get

g=2

b=5

Carlos has 24 balls of different colors: yellow, red, green, and blue. 17 balls are not red,10 balls are neither yellow nor blue
olga55 [171]

Answer:

10 green

Step-by-step explanation:

24 total balls. 17 Not red, so 24-17=7. 7 Red balls. That leaves 17 balls. 10 of them are neither yellow nor blue, and since the amount of red balls has been figured out, we do not need to account for them. 17 balls - 10 not yellow or blue equals 7 balls that can be yellow or blue. 17 balls left, minus the 7 yellow or blue balls equals 10.

How do you get the same base for the power
rewona [7]
You use division

over 2 or 4 or 3 or 5 or 7 and so on
in this case 2 is good

64 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ( use division) = 2^6

16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^4

number reminder
64 0
32 0
16 0
8    0
4   0
2   0
1   1

so 64 = 2^6 (number of zeros) no reminder
