Answer:

90 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

The soccer league has 180 players, and 50% or half are boys.

Multiply the total number of players in the league by the percent that are boys.

total number of players * percent of boys

180* 50%

Convert 50% to a decimal by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place 2 spaces to the left.

50/100=0.50

50.0–>5.0–>0.50

180*0.50

Multiply

There are 90 boy soccer players in the league.

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span> $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<B is a complement of <A

=> m<A + m<B = 180°

65.2° + m<B = 180°

m<B = 180° - 65.2° =114.8°
