the ratio 6/5 means for every 6 boys there are 5 girls.

Add the ratio: 6+5 = 11

Divide class total by 11: 22/11 = 2

Multiply each ratio number by 2 to find the number of boys and the number of girls:

6 x 2 = 12 boys

5 x 2 = 10 girls.

10 out of the 22 kids are girls.

The probability of picking a girl would be 10/22, which reduces to 5/11

How do i rearrange f-ex=g-hx to get x?

Alborosie

Answer:

x = $\frac{g-f}{h-e}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f - ex = g - hx

Collect the terms in x on the left side by adding hx to both sides

hx - ex + f = g ( subtract f from both sides )

hx - ex = g - f ← factor out x on the left side

x(h - e) = g - f ← divide both sides by (h - e)

x = $\frac{g-f}{h-e}$

The Gonzalez family drove 342 miles in 6 hours. The Wilson family drove 472 miles in 8 hours.

EleoNora [17]

The Gonzalez family drove 342 miles in 6 hours. 342 ÷ 6 = 57 mph

The Wilson family drove 472 miles in 8 hours. 472 ÷ 8 = 59 mph

So your answer is D. Wilson; 59 mi/h

Hope this helps. :)
