Given:
width of bookshelf no greater than 6 1/2 feet
purchased bookshelf that is 77 inches wide
We need to find the equivalent value in feet of the purchased bookshelf.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches
77 inches * 1 foot/12 inches = 77 ft/12 = 6 5/6 ft
Or we can convert the feet into inches:
6 1/2 feet convert to improper fraction.
((6*2)+1)/2 = 13/2 feet
13/2 ft * 12 inches/1ft = (13 * 12)/2 = 156/2 = 78 inches
Compare the maximum width of 78 inches to the actual width of 77 inches.
The purchased bookshelf can fit between two windows.
Ratio of girls : boys = 5 : 4
<u>Find total parts:</u>
Total parts = 5 + 4 = 9
<u>Find 1 part:</u>
9 parts = 36
1 part = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
<u>Find 5 parts (Girls):</u>
Girls = 5 parts = 4 x 5 = 20
Answer: There are 20 girls.
Thank you :)
can you mark me brainliest if possible, i’m like really desperate hahah thanks in advance
Answer: 27 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 9 → x = 9 + y
3y = 2x
3y = 2(9 + y)
3y = 18 + 2y
3y - 2y = 18
y = 18
2x = 3(18)
2x = 54
x = 27
x - y = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9
