There ratio of boys to girls is 17:3 there are 740 people how many boys are there

1 answer:

8 0

Ratio of boys to girls= 17:3
number of people= 740

to find the number of boys out of 740 people, you have to add the ratio together and divide 740 by it. then multiply the answer by 17 because the ratio for boys is 17.

17+3=20

740÷20=37
37×17=629

answer= 629
hope this helps....

Answer:

2x + 7 = 3x - 7

3x - 2x = 7 + 7

x = 14

2x + 7 + 12y + 1 = 180

2(14) + 12y + 8 = 180

28 + 12y + 8 = 180

36 + 12y = 180

12y = 180 - 36 = 144

y = 144/12 = 12

x = 14, y = 12

Please help! i'm confused!<br> Find the area of a kites with diagonals 9in and 12in.

Notice the picture
the rhombus, or kite, is really just 4 triangles
all sides are the same lenght in a rhombus,

thus, find the area of all of the triangles,
and you already have two sides given,
and then, add them up

or just find the length of one, and multiply times 4 :)

recall, area of a triangle = 1/2 bh
