Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
Answer:
y = −1.4x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 steps to find the Equation of the Straight Line
1. Find the slope of the line
2. Put the slope and one point into the "Point-Slope Formula"
3. Simplify
5/6 is greater.
2/3 < 5/6
Given (-4,9) (-8,9),(-9,7,(-9,4)
...
To Find : plot the point and draw quadrilateral
Solution:
(-4,9)
go 4 left of origin and then go 9 up
(-8,9)
go 8 left of origin and then go 8 up
(-9,7)
go 9 left of origin and then go 7 up
(-9,4)
go 9 left of origin and then go join (-4,9) with (-8,9) and (-9,4) 4 up
join (-9,7) with (-8,9) and (-9,4)
Quadrilateral is constructed
