Answer:b
Step-by-step explanation:
40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Answer:
7.625
Step-by-step explanation:
P(LC / S) = P(S intersect LC) / P(S)
P(S intersect LC) = P(S)*P(LC / S) = 0.19 * 0.158 = 0.03
First you get both distances
9.3 x 107 = 995.1 miles
8.87 x 108 = 957.96 miles
then you subtract them both
995.1 - 957.96 = 37.14 miles
and 37.14 miles is the distance between Earth and Saturn.
