in a chemistry class, the ratio of girls to boys is 2 to 1. if there are 30 students in the class how many girls are there

1 answer:

5 0

Firstly, we can simplify the ratio of boys to girls to
1
:
2
.
Then, to find out how many students each ratio represents, we add up
1 and 2 to get 3
(1+2=3)
By dividing 3
by the number of students, we can find how many students ONE ratio represents:
24 3=8

So ONE ratio is equal to 8
boys. Since our simplified ratio of boys to girls is
1:2
already, we do not have to do further multiplying - the number of boys is simply 8.
For the girls, simply multiply 2 by 8 to get 16

Check: 8 boys + 18 girls = 24students

The graph of a line has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of (0,0). Rewrite the equation in standard form (Ax+By=C) with a positiv

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the equation of the line is 7x + y = 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard form of the line that is Ax +By = C we can write it in the form of

By = C - Ax

$y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}$

which is in the form of $y = mx +c$

where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept made by the line.

comparing $y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}$ and $y = mx +c$

we get that $\frac{-A}{B} =m$ and $\frac{-C}{B} = c$

since it is given that slope of the line is -7 therefore m = -7 and c = 0

therefore $\frac{-A}{B} =-7$ and $\frac{-C}{B} = 0$

therefore C = 0 , A = 7 and B = 1

therefore the equation becomes 7x + y = 0

What do the following two equations represent?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Intersecting but not perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you forgot to add the = between y+5 and 2(1)

Since there is a opposite single variable in either equation the lines will intersect but not be perpendicular

Rewrite the following equation in standard form.<br> y = 10x + 2

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: -10x + 1y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard formula says that Ax + By = C where A is the coefficient of the x variable, B is the coefficient of the y variable, and C is the constant value.

y = 10x + 2 Subtract 10x from both sides of the equation .

-10x -10x

-10x + 1y = 2
