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

the boundary of a rectangular farm field in ireland has a straight rock wall along one side and fences along its other three sid
Inessa [10]

Answer:

781250 ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y is the length of the farm field

Let x is the width of the farm field

Given that, no fencing is necessary along the rock wall, so we can find the perimeter of the farm is:

2x + y = 2500 feet

<=> y = 2500 -2x

The are of the farm has the following formula:

A = x*y

<=> A = x(2500 - 2x)

<=> A = 2500x -2x^{2}

To have  the maximum area of field in square feet, we need to use differentials to estimate:

\frac{dA}{dx} = 2500 - 4x

Set \frac{dA}{dx} = 0, we have:

2500 - 4x  = 0

<=> x = 625 feet.

=> y = 2500 - 2*625 = 1250 feet

So the maximum area of field is:

A = x*y = 625*1250 = 781250 ft^{2}

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 54 mL

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to find how many milliliters 10% is. To do this, divide 180 by 10, which equals 18. Then, since it needs to be thirty percent, times 18 by 3, which equals 54 mL. Hope this helps.

What are the solution to the equation -3
umka21 [38]

Answer:

38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say, first number = x


Second number = 3x+7


Total = 49



(x)+(3x+7)= 49


4x+7 = 49


4x = 42


x = 42/4


x= 10.5



x= 10.5


3x+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5



Hope this helps!!
