He answer is Positive 60 or 60+
20/5=4
25/7=<span>3.57142857143 Rounded to the nearest tenth: 3.6
4>3.6
If you want the nearest whole, you would round down to 3 because you would be short of 4.
3<4 </span>
Answer:
C would be the correct answer. :D
Deacon Middle School
5x = number of boys
4x = number of girls
where x is some unknown number for now
(number of boys)+(number of girls) = 270 students total
5x+4x = 270
9x = 270
x = 270/9
x = 30
Since x = 30, this means
number of girls = 4x
number of girls = 4*30
number of girls = 120
There are 120 girls at Deacon Middle School
-----------------------------------------
Similarly, for Meadow Middle school
number of boys = 4y
number of girls = 5y
for some number y
(number of boys) + (number of girls) = 180 students total
4y+5y = 180
9y = 180
y = 180/9
y = 20
making,
number of girls = 5*y
number of girls = 5*20
number of girls = 100
so there are 100 girls at Meadow Middle School
-----------------------------------------
In summary so far, there are...
120 girls at Deacon Middle School
100 girls at Meadow Middle School
In total 120+100 = 220 girls from both schools
This is out of 270+180 = 450 students total
Divide the two values (220 and 450) to get
220/450 = 22/45
The final answer is 22/45
It cannot be reduced further as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 22 and 45
A is 69000 I hope you do good on your test/homework
