Girls:boys=5:4
So girls=5x
Boys=4x
total students=36
5x+4x=36
9x=36
x=4
So girls are=5x=5×4=20
Boys are=4x=4×4=16

Jake said he can find 630 ÷ 10 by taking the 0 off of 630 to get 63.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Jake is incorrect with his methodology for solving these problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake is incorrect with his methodology for solving these problems. This is because dividing a number by 10 requires moving the decimal point one digit to the left. When dividing 630 by 10, removing the zero works because by moving the decimal one digit to the left we would simply drop the zero and the decimal would not be needed leaving the answer as 63. However, this does not work on numbers that already have a decimal such as 35.270. This number divided by 10 would be 3.527 but simply removing the 0 like Jake states would give us the incorrect answer of 35.27
