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.

Determine the most specific name for the figure in the diagram.
Makovka662 [10]
<span>ABCD is a parallelogram. Looking at the quadrilateral ABCD, the first thing to do is to determine if the opposite sides are parallel to each other. So let's check that by looking at the opposite sides. Line segment BA. When you go from point B to point A, you move to the right 1 space, and down 4 spaces. So the slope is -4. Looking at line segment CD, you also move to the right 1 space and down 4 spaces, which also means a slope of -4. So those two sides are parallel. When you compare line segments BC and AD, you'll notice that for both of them, you go to the right 5 spaces and up 2 spaces, so those too are parallel. So we can now saw that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram. Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we now need to check if it's a rectangle (we know it can't be a square since the sides aren't all the same length). An easy way to test if it's a rectangle is to check of one of the angles is 90 degrees. And if we draw a line from B to D, we can create a triangle ABD. And in a right triangle, due to Pythagora's theorem we know that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A is the line segment AB, B is the line segment AD and C is the line segment BD. So let's calculate A^2, B^2, and C^2. A^2: Line segment AB. We can construct a right triangle with A = 1 and B = 4. So C^2 = 1^2 + 4^2 = 1 + 16 = 17. So we have an A^2 value of 17 B^2: Line segment AD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 5. So C^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29. So we have an B^2 value of 29 C^2: Line segment BD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 6. So C^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40. So we have a C^2 value of 40. Now let's check if the equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is correct: 17 + 29 = 40 46 = 40 And since 46 isn't equal to 40, that means that ABCD can not be a rectangle. So it's just a parallelogram.</span>

your friend says that the volume of a sphere with a radius r is four times the volume of a cone with radius r. when is this true
Ierofanga [76]
Volume of a sphere is given by the formula: V_{\circ}=\frac43\pi r^3

If we pull the 4 out front we have, V_{\circ}=4\left(\frac13\pi r^3\right).

Volume of a cone is given by the formula: V_{\triangle}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2\cdot h

Notice that if the height of the cone is equal to the radius, V_{\triangle}=\frac13\pi r^2\cdot r

then it's exactly what we see in our volume formula without the 4!

Suppose you inherited a house that was purchased in 1950 for 20,000. It is now 2015 and the value of the house has increased by
Masja [62]

Answer:

I think the house would now costs $85,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I multiplied by how many years between 1950 to 2015 and 5 to get 325.

Next, I divided 20,000 by 100 to get 200 to find 1% of 20,000.

Then, I multiplied 325 by 200 to get 65,000

Finally, I added 20,000 to 65,000 to get 85,000

So, I guess/answer is $85,000

If I was wrong, then just say, "Sorry, but that was incorrect."
