Mathematics
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

66 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

●120% boys of girls

▪︎1.2 × g

☆when g is the number of girls

●80 boys

▪︎meaning you can set up a proportion

Solving:

g × 1.2 = 80

g=80/1.2

g=66.66

So, since you can't go over percent, the answer is 66.

Checking:

g × 1.2 = 80

66 × 1.2 = 80

80=80✅

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11
olga55 [171]

- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11
So we start by combining like terms;
- 6h + h =  - 5h
4 - 3 = 1
Now we have;
- 5h + 1 = 11
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
- 5h + 1 = 11
- 5h = 10
Then we divide both sides by 5;
- 5h = 10
- 5h \div  - 5h =  h
10 \div  - 5h =  - 2
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2

Solve the following questions-
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the ratio as a pure number, it must be expressed as the quotient of two values that have the same units. For the purpose here, it is convenient to convert both values to units of seconds.

__

<h3>units conversion</h3>

The conversion factor between minutes and seconds is ...

  1 minute = 60 seconds

Multiplying this equation by 3 gives ...

  3 minutes = 180 seconds

__

<h3>ratio of interest</h3>

Then the desired ratio is ...

  (72 seconds)/(3 minutes) = (72 seconds)/(180 seconds) = 72/180

  = (36×2)/(36×5)

  = 2/5

The ratio in its simplest form is 2/5.
