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

<h3>Answer: 10.99</h3>

Work Shown:

Angle B = 20 is the reference angle

AC = 4 is the side opposite this reference angle

BC = x is the unknown adjacent side

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = AC/BC

tan(20) = 4/x

x*tan(20) = 4

x = 4/tan(20)

x = 10.9899 approximately (make sure your calc is in degree mode)

x = 10.99 rounding to two decimal places

BC = 10.99

The temperature in some region of Alaska equals 15 F. Convert this temperature to Celsius.
sergij07 [2.7K]
The formula you need to use is C = 5/9•(F - 32)

So take 15 and subtract 32: 15-32 = -17
Then multiply that by 5/9: 5/9•(-17) ≈ -9.44
