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.

The probability is 3/14. There are 2 multiples of 4 in 14, which is 8 and 12. There is only 1 multiple of 6 in 14 which is 12. 1+2=3. It is possible outcomes over total outcomes so 3/14.

A jar holds no more than 500 buttons. If 5 people bring 330 buttons each, how many jars are necessary to hold all of the buttons
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

We know

1 jar = 500 buttons

5 people bring 330 buttons EACH

We can find/solve by...

people x buttons = total buttons

total buttons / 500 = number of jars needed

So..

5 x 330 = 1650

1650 / 500 = 3.3

Your answer:

4 jars

Explanation

It's impossible to have 3.3 jars, so you must round up.
