Answer: There are 60 girls and 40 boys at the bar-b-que

============================================================

Explanation:

b = number of boys
g = number of girls

"The ratio of boys to girls is 4:6" so 
b = 4*x
g = 6*x
where x is some positive whole number

Add up the counts of boys and girls. This count should equal 100
b+g = 100

Plug in b = 4x and g = 6x. Then solve for x
b+g = 100
4x+6x = 100
10x = 100
10x/10 = 100/10 ... divide both sides by 10
x = 10

If x = 10, then
b = 4*x = 4*10 = 40 ---> there are 40 boys
g = 6*x = 6*10 = 60 ---> there are 60 girls

we can see that the ratio
40 boys: 60 girls
reduces to
4 boys: 6 girls
In other words, for every 4 boys, there are 6 girls. The ratio 4:6 can be fully reduced to 2:3 which means for every 2 boys, there are 3 girls. 

Side note: if the ratio of vegetarian girls to omnivorous girls is 1:1, then there are 30 of each
we can solve y+y = 60 to find that y = 30, or we can simply divide 60 in half to find this count. Saying "a ratio of 1:1" means that there are the same number of vegetarians as omnivorous girls.

9 is the difference between two numbers, and their sum is 31. Find the numbers.
algol [13]

Answer:

The first number is 20, the second one is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9

It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31

here are the two equations:

x-y=9

x+y=31

You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination

add the two equations

x-y=9

x+y=31

2x=40

divide by 2

x=20

Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations

20+y=31

subtract 20 from both sides

y=11

That means the two numbers are 20 and 11

Hope this helps!

I HAVE A MATH TEST PLZ HELP I'M GIVING OUT 50 POINTS PLZ<br><br> S.O.S I HAVE MATH
Nady [450]

Answer:

<em>Graph included as picture</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, plot the given points on the graph

Draw a line through them.

Now select two of those values and we'll find the rate of change.

We'll be using (1,-1) and (3,3)

To find rate of change we will be using the formula: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

y_{2} = 3\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} = 3\\x_{1} = 1

\frac{3-(-1)}{3-1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

So the rate of change is 2

You will use this rate of change for your other function because they both have the same rate of change

Since we have the rate of change, we can create the slope intercept form formula: y = mx +b

Just substitute for the variables we know

m = rate of change/slope = 2

b = y-intercept = -3

y = 2x + -3

<em>[If you connected all the points in your graph, that's how you found the y-intercept]</em>

Now we have to create the formula for the second function.

We know it will have that same slope of 2

so we have y = 2x + b

To solve for b we can plug in the values we do have which would be (x,y) of (3,6)

6 = 2(3) + b

Now solve

6 = 6 + b

6 (-6) = 6 (-6) + b

0 = b

b = 0

This mean that the y-intercept will be on (0,0)

Plot that point

Now we finish the formula

y = 2x + 0

Connect the dots, make sure the line continues on both of them past the dots and now you have your graph!

I've included a picture of the graph for your reference. I hope this helps, don't be afraid to reach out with further questions!

A. 23.3 cm<br><br><br> B. 16 cm<br><br><br> C. 8 cm
Hitman42 [59]
B. 16 cm

Square both 20 and 12

20x20=400

12x12=144

400-144=256
 
find the square root of 256
and the square root is 16

so b is 16 cm
