Male to female is 8:5

So

Let's make male = 8x

female = 5x

8x-400/5x-300=8/3
The 8/3 is because that is what the ratio was after some of the students left

multiply by 5x-300 on both sides

8x-400=(5x-300)*(8/3)

multiply by 3 on both sides to remove the denominator

(8x-400)*3=(5x-300)*8

24x-1200=40x-2400

+2400        +2400

24x+1200=40x
-24x             -24x

1200=16x

divide by 16

1200/16=16x/16

75=x

Now to find total we do 8x+5x  we said male were 8x and female were 5x

8(75)+5(75)

600+375=975 total students

suppose a spherical snowball with a diameter of 6 centimeters is melted in a large bowl. the resulting water is then poured into
scoray [572]
Oooh fun!

Alright, 

formula for a sphere is (4\pir^3)3
4*pi*6^3=2714.34/3
904.78

Now you can do this 2 ways. First is that a cone is 1/3 of a sphere with the same radius so just take 904.78 and multiply it by 1/3 and then by 2 to get 2/3 of it or do this.

cone~ (6^2*pi*10)/3
376.99

and subtract

<span>904.78-376.99=527.79
</span>
<span>527.79^3 greater. Check my math. I could be wrong.</span>
