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

85% if the questions. You would take 68 and divide it by 80 to find the percentage of answered questions.

How do I work this out oof
kakasveta [241]

I am so sorry for giving you the wrong answer at first.

Here's the processs

1x=-0.5555

Move the decimal point in the repeating decimal one space forward

10x=-5.55555

Then subtract

10x=5.5555

x=-0.5555= 9x=-5

Divide both sides by 9

9x=-5

9x/9=-5/9

-5/9 is your final answer!

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line with the same slope as the equation x-4y=3 and the y-intercept(0,-8)?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

y = 1/4x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

x-4y =3

Subtract x from each side

x-4y -x = -x+3

-4y = -x+3

Divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -x/-4 +3/-4

y = 1/4 x -3/4

This is in the form y= mx+b where the slope is m and the y intercept is b

The slope is 1/4

We want the same slope

y = 1/4x +b

we know the y intercept is -8

y = 1/4x -8
