There are 160 boys.

Set up a proportion:

the ratio of girls to boys is 7/8, we don’t know how many boys there are but we know that there are 140 girls.


7/8 = 140/x

Make sure that girls and girls are across from each other in the proportion. 7 should be across from 140. 8 is across from x. X represents how many boys there are.

Solve for X (the amount of boys) and you get 160 boys.

And you can always check your answer by plugging it back into the problem.

Last month, Margo bought a tree that grows 2.5 cm each day. It was 5 cm when she bought it and now it 65 cm tall.
Radda [10]
You will want this equation to be in y=mx+b, because you already have the slope and y-intercept. X will be the number of days she has had the plant, and Y will be the height of the tree, because it is the variable being affected by the X. The slope, or the M, is 2.5 because this is the number of centimeters the tree grows per day. The y-intercept is 5, because this is the height of the tree originally. So, the equation is Y=2.5X+5. To solve the number of days Margo will have had the plant, plug in 65 (the height of the plant after a certain amount of days) into the Y variable and solve for X. So, 65=2.5X+5. Subtract 5 from both sides to get 60=2.5X, then divide both sides by 2.5 to get X=24. So, she will have owned the plant for 24 days.
