Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.

Simplify the expression. Explain each step:<br> 1. 3.5 + (x + 2.7)<br> 2. (8 x k) x 4

barxatty [35]

In a way, you are adding like terms.
3.5 + 2.7 = 6.2, therefore making the answer 6.2 + x

The brackets can be ignored so you are really just asked 8 x 4 x k. 8 x 4 =32 so you end up with 32k
