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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.20 is about $5.00, 21 is about 20, so $5.00 * 20 *4 = $400.

Checking this: $5.20 * 21 * 4 = $436.80

The perimeter of a square in which A=169cm square root 2?

sergey [27]

I'm guessing you mean:
$A = 169 \sqrt{2}$

If not, correct me.

So, then the perimeter of a square is just 4*A, which in this case would be:
$4(169 \sqrt{2}) = 676 \sqrt{2}$

And that would be your answer: $676 \sqrt{2}$ units²
