Percentage of students that are girls in the class = 60%
Number of girls in the class = 18
Let us assume the total number of students in the class = x
Then
60% * x = 18
(60/100) * x = 18
6x/10 = 18
6x = 18 * 10
6x = 180
x = 180/6
   = 30
So the total number of students in the class is 30.
Number of boys in the class = 30 - 18
                                               = 12
So there are 12 boys in the class. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

60% are girls, there are 18 girls in the class. How many boys?

This is quite easy to understand. 

6x/10 = 18
6x/10 *10 = 18*10 
6x = 180
x = 30

Now, thats the total, subtract by the girls. 
30-18 = 12

Answer: 12

A) Divide total miles by total time:

21 miles /  4 hours = 5.25 miles per hour.

B) Divide miles by miles per hour:

42 miles / 5.25 miles per hour = 8 hours.

What’s is part A?? .....
bixtya [17]

Answer:

A. 3

B. 4

C. 1

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all equations:

A. y=x^2 -6x+8

This is the equation of parabola with vertex at point

x_v=\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-6)}{2\cdot 1}=3\\ \\y_v=3^2-6\cdot 3+8=9-18+8=-1

The y-intercept is at point

x=0\\ \\y=0^2-6\cdot 0+8=8

Since

x^2 -6x+8=x^2-4x-2x+8=x(x-4)-2(x-4)=(x-2)(x-4),

the x-intercepts are at points (2,0) and (4,0)

The leading coefficient is 1 > 0, then the parabola opens upwards.

Hence, the graph of this parabola is 3.

B. y=(x-6)(x+8)

This parabola has two x-intercepts at points (6,0) and (-8,0).

The leading coefficient is 1 > 0, then the parabola opens upwards.

The only possible choice is parabola 4.

C. y=(x-6)^2+8

This parabola has the vertex at point (6,8), opens upwards, therefore does not intersect the x-axis.

The graph of this parabola is 1.

D. y=-(x+8)(x-6)

This parabola has two x-intercepts at points (6,0) and (-8,0).

The leading coefficient is -1 > 0, then the parabola opens downwards.

The only possible choice is parabola 2.
