The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 4:5. How many boys are in the school if there are 720 students.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: 320 boys

Step-by-step explanation: you would first take the total number (720) and divide it by the total number shown in the ratio (5+4=9)

720/9= 80

You would then take 80 and multiply it by 4 because that is the number representing the boys

80*4= 320

Factorise:b+√b-12<br>An easy one.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you let b = x^2 the problem becomes a whole lot easier. Note that x = √b

x^2 + x - 12

Now factor this trinomial.

(x + 4)(x - 3)

Now put b back into the equation

(√b + 4)(√b - 3)

An experiment consists of drawing a marble out of a bag, observing the color, and then placing it back in the bag. Suppose the e

Elan Coil [88]

The experimental data suggest that

$\mathbb P(\text{red})\approx\dfrac{38}{75}$
$\mathbb P(\text{blue})\approx\dfrac{23}{75}$
$\mathbb P(\text{green})\approx\dfrac{11}{75}$
$\mathbb P(\text{yellow})\approx\dfrac3{75}$

Because the marble is replaced after being drawn, and so the number of marbles of a given color remains the same, the event of drawing any given color is independent of what was drawn before. So

$\mathbb P(\text{2 consecutive yellows})\approx\dfrac3{75}\cdot\dfrac3{75}=\dfrac1{625}$
