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

valina [46]

Answer:

The coefficient 3.99 represent the cost of one bottle of nail polish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation to represent the amount of money left after buying 'p' bottles of nail polish is given as:

25-3.99p

The remaining amount with Itzel can be calculated as:

Remaining amount = Initial amount - Cost of 'p' bottles.

The above expression tells us two things:

1. Initial amount of money Itzel has was 25.

2. The cost of 'p' bottles of nail polish is 3.99p.

Therefore, the cost of one bottle is calculated using the unitary method is given as:

\textrm{Cost of 1 bottle}=\frac{\textrm{Cost of 'p' bottles}}{\textrm{Number of bottles}}\\\\\textrm{Cost of 1 bottle}=\frac{3.99p}{p}=3.99

Therefore, cost of 1 bottle of nail polish is 3.99. Hence, coefficient 3.99 represent the cost of one bottle of nail polish.

Responde el siguiente problema de lógica: Al mirar el reloj, vemos que la manecilla de los minutos apunta a un número que casual
ANTONII [103]

Answer: 11:50

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, la manecilla de los minutos apunta al numero X.

si la ora es Y, entonces Y + X = 12:00

podemos asumir que Y es 11:y

y es la cantidad de minutos despues de las 11, es un numero entre 0 y 59 (por que una hora solo puede tener 60 minutos)

Si la manecilla de los minutos apunta al numero 6 por ejemplo, entoces:

y = 11:30 y X = 6 min

X + y = 11:30 + 0:06 = 11:36

Así funciona.

la equacion es:

y = 5*X

y tambien queremos que:

X + y = 60min

reemplazo y por lo de la equacion de arriba:

X + y = X + 5*X = 6X = 60min

X = 10

Si la manecilla apunta al 10, tenemos que:

y = 11:50 y X = 10min

y + X = 11:50 + 0:10 = 12:00

Entonces podemos concluir que la hora es 11:50.
