How to write the ratio of the number of 6 boys and 8 girls

Answer: The final answer to this question is 4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a ratio is "the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other." In English, it's essentially how many "things" there are for every "other thing" there is. In this case, for every 8 girls there are, there are also 6 boys. There are many ways to write a ratio but the main one is with a colon.

So the ratio would be written like this 8:6

However, the statement requires it to be in simplest form so we need to simplify the ratio. We do that much like simplifying a fraction. Find the least common denominator, then divide both values by it. In this case the LCD is 2. So all we need to do now, is divide both the numbers in half, then we have our simplified ratio.

See :

8/2 = 4

6/2 = 3

So our new and final ratio is 4:3

Hope this helped you understand :)

Whats the answer????

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).

so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?

I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).

to go from the first to the second point :

x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).

y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).

the slope a is therefore -1/4.

and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).

so, the line equation is

y = (-1/4)x - 6

Two angels are supplementary. The measure of the large angle is four more than three times the measure of the small angle. Find
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The measure of the two supplementary angles is

Small angle = x = 44°

Large angle = y = 136

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180° .

Let

Small angle = x

Large angle = y

x + y = 180°.... Equation 1

The measure of the large angle is four more than three times the measure of the small angle

Hence: y = 4 + 3x

We substitute 4 + 3x for y in Equation 1

x + 4 + 3x = 180°

4x + 4 = 180°

4x = 180° - 4

4x = 176

x = 176/4

x = 44°

Solve for y

y = 4 + 3x

y = 4 + 3(44)

y = 4 + 132

y = 136°

Therefore, the measure of the two supplementary angles is

Small angle = x = 44°

Large angle = y = 136
