Answer:

<u>There are 350 girls in the school.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the question correctly:

Ratio of number of boys to the girls = 5:7

Number of students in the school = 600

2.  How many girls are there in the school?

Number of girls = x

Number of boys = 5/7x

x + 5x/7 = 600

7x + 5x = 4,200

12x = 4,200

x = 350

<u>There are 350 girls in the school.</u>

And the number of boys is (600 - 350) = 250.

What is 0.05 repeating as a fraction ?
grin007 [14]
This is the best I got Require to make 2 equations with the same repeating part and subtract them to eliminate the repeating part.

begin by letting x = 0.5555555................. (1)

To obtain the same repeating part after the decimal point need to multiply by 10

hence 10x = 5.555555........................(2)

It is important to obtain 2 equations in x, where the recurring part after the decimal points are exactly the same.

now subtract (1) from (2) to obtain fraction

(2) - (1) : <span>9x=5⇒x=<span><span>59</span></span></span>

If f(x) = 2x² - 6x + 8, find f(a - 2).
yan [13]

Answer: f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x² - 6x + 8

you can take a-2 and substitute it for each x, which would look like this:

f(a-2) = 2(a-2)² - 6(a-2) + 8

then distribute those in ( )

f(a-2) = 2a² - 8a + 8 - 6a + 12 + 8

combine like terms

f(a-2) = 2a² - 14a + 28
