Answer:
15 boys and 25 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:
g + b = 40
The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:
2b - 5 = g
First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b
Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:
2b-5 = 40-b
Which simplifies to:
2b + b = 40 + 5
3b = 45
b = 15
g = 40-15 = 25
15 boys, 25 girls.
Answers:
10) y= 1/2x - 2
11) y= 2x + 3
12) y= 2/3x - 4
I found this by using y=mx+ b
The first choice because it’s easier than having to add a bunch of numbers so S=(9)(2)(4)
3/4 × 2 2/5
Turn 2 2/5 into an improper fraction.
2 2/5 = (5 × 2) + 2 = 12
So, 2 2/5 = 12/5
So, our new question is : 3/4 × 12/5
Multiply the numerators (top numbers) with one another.
Numerators : (3 × 12) = 36
Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) with one another.
Denominators : (4 × 5) = 20
So, our answer is 36/20
However, we need this to be a mixed number.
So, how many times does 20 go into 36? Once!
So, Multiply 20 with 1, and then subtract that number from 36! :)
20 × 1 = 20
36 - 20 = 16
So, our answer is :
1 16/20
Then, you simplify it once more.
Divide the numerator and denominator by 4.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So, our final answer is 1 4/5
