<span>With a boys to girls ratio of 8:7, this means 8/15 of the campers are boys and 7/15 of the campers are girls.

We are told that there are 195 total campers.

To find # of boys: 195 (the total # of campers) x 8/15 (fraction of the campers that are boys) = 104  boys

To find # of girls: 195 (total # of campers) x 7/15 (fraction of the campers that are girls) = 91 girls

Note: If you do not know how to multiply by fractions, let me know, I have another trick that takes more time but doesn't require the use of fractions.

How do i simplify it? ​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

6 3/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) then you do what is inside the parenthesis first.

3 1/2 divided by 2= 1 3/4

1 3/4 plus 5= 6 3/5

Then, you add the x and since there is no other variable like x, then you just leave it with 6 3/4.

Hope that helped! :)

Solve the equation. |x + 5| = 9 {–4, 14} {–14, 4} {4, 14} {–14, –4}
inna [77]

Answer:

{-14, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.

so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.

so,

x + 5 = 9

x = 4

and

x + 5 = -9

x = -14

that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.

What is the value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

x = 80 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

As sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180

so:

According to the given figure:

70  + 30 + x = 180

By simplifying

100 + x = 180

x = 180 - 100

x = 80 degree

i hope it will help you!
