Mrs. Fowler has 28 students in her class, and 16 of them are boys.

1 answer:

5 0

We subtract 28 - 16 and get the number of girls
so lets do that
28 - 16 = 12
now we know the unsimplified ratio os 12 to 16
simplifed girls 12 ÷ 4 = 3
simplified boys 16 ÷ 4 = 4
since it says (girls to boys) we put girls first then boys
so it would become 3 : 4
Or the answer is B.) 3 : 4

Two garden plots are to have the same area. One is square and one is rectangular. The rectangular plot is 2 meters wide and 8 me

Crank

First, let's look at the formulas for the area of square and area of the rectangle.

$A_{square}=a^2$

$A_{rectangle}=a\cdot b$

And what this exercise states is that the areas are the same. So:

$A_{square}=A_{rectangle}\Longrightarrow a^2=a\cdot b$

Now put in the data.

$a^2=2\cdot8$

Solve for $a$ :

$a=\sqrt{2\cdot8}=\sqrt{16}=\boxed{4}$

The side of the square garden plot is 4 meters.

Hope this helps.
