Answer:
16:12 or 4:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Girls + boys = 28
Girls + 12 = 28
Girls = 16
Girls to boys:
16:12
16/12
4:3
Now if we have 7.5 pounds of apples first we need to convert 1 pound into ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
Now we know how many ounces are in one pound. So lets take the 16 ounces for 1 pound and multiply by the 7 full pounds of apples. This excluding the 1/2 pound of apples.
7 x 16 = 112
(7 being the weight in pounds of the apples, 16 being 16 ounces in one pound, and 112 is how any ounces are in 7 pounds of apples.)
So now we have the amount of ounces in 7 pounds of apples.
But we are not done. We still have the 1/2 pound of apples. So we take 16 being 1 pound of apples and divide it by 2.
16 divided by 2 = 8
That 1/2 pound of apples = 8 ounces.
So now we have our 7 pounds of apples in ounces (112) and our 1/2 pound of apples in ounces (8)
So we add these back up in ounces
112 + 8 = 120.
So now we can conclude:
7.5 pounds of apples is 120 ounces
Hope this helps!

Can't read it it's blurry. Sorry.
The number of books taken by each student is 6.
<h3>What is an average?</h3>
Average is defined as the ratio of the sum of the number of the data sets to the total number of the data. The average actually determines the middle value of the data.
Given that the total number of books checked out of the library at your high school is 14,400 and the student population is about 2400.
The average is calculated by dividing the sum of the total number of items by the total counts of the items.
Average = 14400 / 2400
Average = 6
Therefore, the number of books taken by each student is 6.
