there is a ratio of 5 boys to 3 girls in the chorus. They are 24 boys in the chorus. How many girls are there?

Ok, so at first this question seems tricky, since 5 does not go into 25. However, you can't have a percentage of 1 person. Since 5 goes into 25 5 times, then we will go with that. So multiply 3 x 5 to get 15 girls. Because you can't have a fraction of a single person.

You have to use proportion for this problem, so you do

5 boys = 3 girls
24 boys = ? girls
24 times 3 equals 72. 72 divided by 5 equals 14.4. You have to round this answer to get 15 girls.
Hope this helped :D

Answer:

$\large\boxed{n=\dfrac{4.6}{x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$nx-5=-0.4\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\nx-5+5=-0.4+5\\\\nx=4.6\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ x\neq0\\\\\dfrac{nx}{x}=\dfrac{4.6}{x}\\\\n=\dfrac{4.6}{x}$

2. Un auto viaja a 60 km/h y se detiene a los 2 segundos. qué distancia recorrió en el

posledela

Se calcula que la aceleración es - 8,35 m/s.

<h3 /><h3>¿Qué es la aceleración?</h3>

Ahora sabemos lo siguiente de la pregunta;

Velocidad inicial (u) = 60 km/h o 16,7 m/s

Tiempo empleado (t) = 2 s

Dado que;

v = tu + en

v = 0 m/s porque el carro se detenía

tu = -en

a = -(u/t)

a= -1(6,7 m/s/2 s)

a =- 8,35 m/s

La aceleración es negativa porque la velocidad disminuye con el tiempo.

Answer:

$10000 Total cost to transport 14 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost C(S) = $6500 + ($250/ton)S. <em>This is a linear function with initial value $6500 and slope $250/ton.</em>

C(14) = $6500 + ($250/ton)(14) = <em>$10000 = Total cost to transport 14 tons</em>
