Answer:
C. It cannot be factored into a perfect square.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the square roots of all the numbers present (64, 49, 8) and you will find that 8, the constant, is not a perfect square.
We can solve this by setting up a proportion:
12 seeing the play/ 72 students = 210 seeing the play/ x students
We can cross multiply to solve for x:
(12)x=(72)(210)
12x=15,120
x=1,260 students who attend the school
One method is to round 997 up to 1000, multiply by 8, and then subtract 8 times 3. This would give you the solution of 7976.
Another method (Which I personally wouldn't use) is to recursively double 997. This is more difficult, although effective. After you double 997, double the resulting number, and then double the resulting number from that, you have the solution. This is because 2^3 is 8.
The area of a rectangle is L x W, so 9(5+x) is the formula for the area in factored form. It can be simplified to 45+9x
Alright so turn 3/4 into a decimal.
3/4 =.75
We need to set up an equation. To do that are need to give boys and girls their own variables.
Girls= X
And since there is 3/4 as many boys
Boys=. 75X
Now we know the sum of boys and girls equals 35
X+.75X=35
X+.75X=1.75X
Now we have 1.75X=35
Divide by 1.75 and get
20=X
Now plug 20 into the equations got from before.
Boys =. 75*X = 20 *. 75 = 15
Girls = X =20
Your Answer:
15 boys
20 girls
You can check
20+15=35
15/20=3/4
