60 total fourth graders and 43 are girls. To find the number of boys, subtract.

60 - 43 = 17 boys

If 5 girls were absent, subtract.

43 - 5 = 38 girls present

If 4 boys were absent, subtract.

17 - 4 = 13 boys present

Therefore, there were 13 boys present.

Best of Luck!

15. Davis wants to pour 5 gallons of punch into
Sonja [21]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Davis wants to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs How many jugs will he need?

A. 2½

B. 5½

C. 10

D. 15

Answer:

Number of jugs = 10

Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

David has 5 gallons of punch that he wants to pour into jugs.

The capacity of 1 jug is ½ gallon.

The required number of jugs may be found as

Number of jugs = gallons of punch/capacity of jug

For the given case, we have

Gallons of punch = 5

capacity of jug (in gallons) = ½ = 0.5

So, the required number of jugs is,

Number of jugs = 5/½

Number of jugs = 5/0.5

Number of jugs = 10

Therefore, Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.
