Mathematics
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
8 0
Let the two segments be x and y
x+y=45...1
X/y = 2/3...2
From1, y=45-x
Sub this into 2
x/(45-x)=2/3
3x=90-2X
5x=90
x=18
y=45-18=27

kogti [31]

Answer: 150 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys be x

Since there were 200 more girls than boys, the number of girls will be: = x + 200

Since the ratio of boys to girls was 3:7, this can be solved further below:

3/7 = x/x+200

Cross multiply

(7 × x) = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150

The number of boys enrolled is 150

Number of Girls will be:

= X + 200

= 150 + 200

= 350

Check: Number of boys / Number of girls

= 150/350

= 3/7

= 3:7

What is the area of the figure?<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

5.4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figuring out the area of shapes like these are quite simple, you first have to break apart this shape to make solving this easier. If you draw a line and break off the triangle from the square you will get 2 different shapes. A square with all the sides being 2 inches, and a triangle that is 2 inches tall and 1.4 inches across (you subtract 3.4 by 2). Next you just use the equation (2 * 2) + ((1.4 * 2)/2). Multiply 2 by 2 (which is 4) and you get the area of the square (you multiply the base by the width). And for the triangle you multiple 1.4 by 2 (you get 2.8)... But because it's a triangle you have to divide that number by 2 since the triangle is half of a square. So 2.8 / 2 is going to be 1.4. After that you now have the equation 4 + 1.4 and the answer is going to be 5.4.

H(x)=1/8x^3-x^2<br><br> Over which interval does h have a positive average rate of change?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(-\infty,0)\cup(\frac{16}{3},\infty)\\That \ is x\frac{16}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^{3} -x^{2} \\\\Differentiate \ h(x) \ with \  respect \ to \ x\\h'(x)=\frac{3}{8}x^{2} -2x

For positive rate of change h'(x)>0

\frac{3}{8} x^{2} -2x>0\\x(\frac{3}{8}x-2)>0\\\\ When \ x0 \ (multiplication \ of \ two \ positives \ is \ positive)\\\\h'(x)>0 \ when \ x\frac{16}{3} \\\\
