Answer:
Answer:
3x + 3y = 0
7x - y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y inversely proportional to 1/x
y=4, x=16
4=k/16
k=64
find y when x=8
y=64/8
y=8
Colfax:
Add the ratio numbers together:
5 + 4 = 9
Divide total students by that:
270 / 9 = 30
Multiply each ratio by 30:
Boys = 30 *5 = 150
Girls = 30 * 4 = 120
Do the same for Winthrop:
4 +5 = 9
180 /9 = 20
Boys = 20 * 4 = 80
Girls = 20 * 5 = 100
Total students = 270 + 180 = 450
Total Girls = 120 + 100 = 220
Fraction that are girls = 220 / 450 which reduces to 22/45
