Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .

Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;

in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .

→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".

The density of titanium is 4.51 g/cm^3

forsale [732]

The volume of titanium is 20.86 cubic inches

Solution:

The volume is given by formula:

$volume = \frac{mass}{density}$

From given,

Density of titanium = 4.51 $g/cm^3$

Mass = 3.4 lb

Let us convert the mass to grams

1 pound = 453.592 grams

Therefore, 3.4 pound is equal to:

$3.4 \text{ pound } = 3.4 \times 453.592 \text{ grams }\\\\3.4 \text{ pound } = 1542.2128\text{ grams }$

Now substitute the values into formula:

$volume = \frac{1542.2128}{4.51}\\\\volume = 341.95 cm^3$

Let us convert cubic centimeter to cubic inches

1 cubic centimeter = 0.0610237 cubic inches

Therefore,

$341.95\ cm^3 = 0.0610237 \times 341.95\ in^3 = 20.86\ in^3$

Thus volume of titanium is 20.86 cubic inches

in class, matthew stated "i think that a negative is like an opposite. That is why multiplying a negative times a negative equal

sveticcg [70]

Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!
