Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.

a wooden fruit crate will hold 62 pounds of fruit. the crate already has 18 pounds of fruit in it. which inequality represents t

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$p + 18 \leq 62$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = 62\ lb$

$Current = 18\ lb$

Required

Write an inequality to represent the scenario?

Represent the additional number of pounds with p.

When p is added to the current pounds, the weight must be less than or equal to the total possible weights

In other words:

$p + current \leq total$

Substitute values for current and total

$p + 18 \leq 62$

Hence, the inequality that describes the scenario is: $p + 18 \leq 62$

A full load for a small truck to haul is 2/3 ton of gravel. The truck is hauling 1/2 ton of gravel. Write a division sentence th

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The truck is hauling 3/4 of a full load

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

2/3 ton of gravel represent the 100% of a full load

Find out how much of a full load the truck is hauling with 1/2 ton of gravel, using proportion

Let

x ----> the percentage of a full load

$\frac{(2/3)}{100\%}=\frac{(1/2)}{x}\\\\x=100\%(1/2)/(2/3)\\\\x=100\%(3/4)\\\\x=75\%$

Convert to fraction number

$75\%=\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4}$

therefore

The truck is hauling 3/4 of a full load
