Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
Hi there!
If you wanted to show your work, a good idea would be showing what numbers you would approximate or round the two numbers to, and divide the numbers.
Hope this helps!
956 dude this is not difficult
Ok, first of all, it is important to understand that this function would depend on 2 variables; the number of dollars (x) and the number of pennies (y). Every dollar is equivalent to 100 pennies. So, if we are given x dollars, we have 100*x pennies. If we also have y pennies, we still get y pennies. We need to add these two to get the total amount of pennies. Thus, the correct function is:
f(x,y)=100*x+y
Hope this helps :) (the first circle is a fraction of thirds and the second circle is a fraction of sixths)
