Answer:

C (32)

Step-by-step explanation:

12 sneakers / 9 boots = x sneakers / 24 boots

the ratio is 4:3 so divide 24 by 3 and multiply by 4

12 / 9 = (24 / 3 x 4) / 24

12 / 9 = 32 / 24

32 students wore sneakers

A) 36 students wore sneakers
Steps:
For every 9 students that wore boots 12 wore sneakers if 24 students wore boots that mean 24/9= 3 and so u would have to multiply 12•3 and get 36

4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope! 

(-8,5)  (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]

10 - 5         5
---------   = ----- = 1 
-3-(-8)         5

Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b 

Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]

y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b  SUBSTITUTE 
10=-3+b     MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3   +3    ADD
----------
13=b     SIMPLIFY 

So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13 

y=1x+13 is our final answer.



5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2) 

We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope! 
--> y=-1/3x-1 

Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:

y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b   SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y-     -4=-3+b          intercept of our perpendicular equation. 
+3   +3            ADD
--------
-1=b    SIMPLIFY 

So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)

6) I don't know, sorry! :(

A sign 4 meters tall cast a shadow 5 meters long . At the same time, a tree casts a shadow 30 meters long. What is the height of
AfilCa [17]
The information's given in the question are of vital importance. These information's should be very useful while getting to the desired answer of the given question.Let us now concentrate on the problem that needs to be solved.
The height of the sign that casts a shadow of 4 meters is = 5 meters
Then
The height of the tree that casts a shadow of 30 meters = (5/4) * 30 meters
                                                                                          = 150/4 meters
                                                                                          = 37.5 meters
So the tree casting a shadow of 30 meters is actually 37.5 meters in height. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

Answer:

It's the one under the one you have selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

7:2

14:4

28:8

56:16

Divide the first number by 7 then multiply it by 2.

Example: 56/7=8, 8*2=16 so it's correct.
