Answer:

<u>27</u> students are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 3/4 as many girls as there are boys.

In the fifth grade total there are 63 students.

Now, to find the number of students that are girls.

Let the number of students that are boys be $x.$

So, the number of students that are girls = $\frac{3}{4} \ of\ x=\frac{3x}{4} .$

Total number of students = 63.

Now, to get the number of students that are girls we solve an equation:

$x+\frac{3x}{4} =63\\\\\frac{4x+3x}{4} =63\\\\\frac{7x}{4} =63\\\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 4\ we\ get:\\\\7x=252\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 7\ we\ get:\\\\x=36.$

Now, substituting the value of $x$ :

$\frac{3x}{4} \\\\=\frac{3\times 36}{4} \\\\=\frac{108}{4} \\\\=27.$

Therefore, 27 students are girls.

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3 = 5
2x^2 = 5 - 3
2x^2 = 2
x^2 = 2/2
x = \| 1
x = 1

A reflection maps the point (2, 3) to the point (2, -3).

Tresset [83]

Answer:

x axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the x value stays the same. If you were to graph the line y=3 and y=-3, you would see that it is a reflection over the x axis.

You have 132 m of fencing with which to make 2 side by side rectangular enclosures against an existing wall. If the enclosures a

Deffense [45]

The two enclosures will need three equal fences coming out from the wall and meeting another fence running parallel to the wall. If the fences coming out from the wall are x metres long the parallel fence will be (132 - 3x) metres long.
The area A = x(132 - 3x) = 132x - 3x^2
The derivative of A = zero when 132 - 6x = 0 which means the maximum area is when x = 22m
The maximum area = 22 x (132 - 3 x 22) = 1452 m^2

If you don’t know how to find derivatives then you could sketch the graph of y = x(132 - 3x).
This is an inverted parabola (hill) with x intercepts at 0 and 132/3 = 44.
The maximum point (top of the hill) is halfway between 0 and 44 I.e. 22m

Try any other value for x and the area will be smaller.
