Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer

The softball team stopped for ice cream after a big game. five 2-scoop cones cost the same as three sundaes. If they bought nine
Savatey [412]
<span>Let the cost of 2-scoop cones be x, and the cost of sundaes be y.
The first statement tells us that 5x = 3y
The second statement tells us that 9x + 6y = 19.95
Then we need to calculate the value of y (the cost of a sundae).
From our first equation, y = 5x/3. Substituting this into the second equation:
9x + 6(5x/3) = 19.95
9x + 10x = 19.95
19x = 19.95
x = 1.05
Substituting back into the first equation: 5(1.05) = 3y
5.25 = 3y
y = 1.75
Therefore the cost of a sundae is $1.75.

What are rational numbers and how do you tell the difference between integers? Please answer what are rational numbers first.
Maslowich

1. A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction.

For example: 1/3, 5/7, 90/666, etc

Note: Any integer can be written as a fraction.

Look:

5 = 5/1 = rational

-14 = -14/1 = rational

2. There is no difference between a rational and integer.

Answer:

In graph theory and computer science, an adjacency matrix is a square matrix used to represent a finite graph. The elements of the matrix indicate whether pairs of vertices are adjacent or not in the graph.

In the special case of a finite simple graph, the adjacency matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with zeros on its diagonal. If the graph is undirected, the adjacency matrix is symmetric. The relationship between a graph and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of its adjacency matrix is studied in spectral graph theory.

The adjacency matrix should be distinguished from the incidence matrix for a graph, a different matrix representation whose elements indicate whether vertex–edge pairs are incident or not, and degree matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex.
