Answer:

There are 35 boys in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved as a rule of three.

In science class, the girl to boy ratio is 3 to 7.

This means that for each 10 students, 7 of them are boys and 3 are girls.

So if for 10 students, 7 of them are boys, how many are boys for 50?

7 boys - 10 students

x boys - 50 students

$10x = 7*50$

$10x = 350$

$x = 35$

There are 35 boys in the class.

which set of steps shows the solution to the equation 2y = −8? y = −8 − 2; y = 6 y = −8 ÷ (−2); y = 4 y = −8 ÷ 2; y = −4 y = −8

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: The correct option is

(C) y = −8 ÷ 2; y = −4.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct steps that shows the solution to the following equation :

$2y=-8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We know that

the solution to the equation $ax=b,~~\textup{a,b are real numbers}$ is given by

$ax=b\\\\\Rightarrow x=b\div a.$

Therefore, the solution of equation (i) is as follows :

$2y=-8\\\\\Rightarrow y=-8\div 2\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{-8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=-4.$

Thus, (C) is the correct option.

Which equation has the same graph as 4x + 8y = 12?

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$4x + 8y = 12 \\ 4(x + 2y) = 12 \\ \frac{4(x + 2y)}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \\ x + 2y = 3$

Write an equivalent expression of -2(1.5h+5)-4(-0.5+3h) without parenthesis

ryzh [129]

The equivalent expression to given expression is: -15h-8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the given expression to find an equivalent expression.

Given expression is:

$-2(1.5h+5)-4(-0.5+3h)$

So by using distributive property

$=-3h-10+2-12h\\=-15h-8$

Hence,

The equivalent expression to given expression is: -15h-8

In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the following equation: Peter opened his account with $

Lilit [14]

What you would do is you would keep subtracting (I recommend a calculator for this task) from both accounts until you get an equal amount for each. You would also have to record this down that way you know each time what you got. (And please do not put the calculator part). Really hope this helps!!!

aksik [14]

Answer:

15 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

We need 5 liters of Yoda soda for 12 guest.

To find:

If we have 36 guest how many liters of Yoda soda we need.

Solution:

<u>By unitary method:</u>

For 12 guests, we need liters of Yoda soda = 5

For 1 guest, we need liters of Yoda soda = $\frac{5}{12}$

For 36 guests, we need liters of Yoda soda = $\frac{5}{12}\times36=\frac{180}{12} =15\ liters$

Therefore, we need 15 liters of Yoda soda for 36 guests.
