Let x be the number of girls at the beach. The ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7 : 8. If there were 42 boys and x girls, you can write a proportion:

\dfrac{42}{x}=\dfrac{7}{8}.

Use the main property of proportion:

42\cdot 8=7\cdot x,\\ \\x=\dfrac{42\cdot 8}{7},\\ \\x=6\cdot 8=48.

Answer: 48 girls

4. The ratio of skateboards to bikes is 3:1.
vredina [299]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

3 represents skateboards and 1 represents bikes. We need to get from 3 to 12 and 1 to the answer by using the same number you used to get from 3 to 12.

To get from 3 to 12 you multiply by 4

3*4=12

So let's go ahead and multiply 1 by 4 as well

1*4=4

Your ratio is now 12:4 and 4 stands for bikes so there are 4 bikes

Answer this please it’s for algebra 2
Sergeu [11.5K]

Part a)

P(junior) = (number of juniors)/(number total)

P(junior) = 235/705

P(junior) = 1/3 exactly

P(junior) = 0.33333 approximately

======================================

Part b)

P(freshman and LG) = (number of freshman who have LG)/(number total)

P(freshman and LG) = 70/705

P(freshman and LG) = 14/141 exactly

P(freshman and LG) = 0.09929 approximately

======================================

Part c)

n(junior) = number of juniors = 235

n(samsung) = number of people who have samsung = 274

n(junior and samsung) = number of juniors who have samsung = 93

----

n(junior or samsung) = n(junior)+n(samsung)-n(junior and samsung)

n(junior or samsung) = 235+274-93

n(junior or samsung) = 416

----

P(junior or samsung) = n(junior or samsung)/n(total)

P(junior or samsung) = 416/705 exactly

P(junior or samsung) = 0.59007 approximately

======================================

Part d)

n(sophomore and apple) = number of sophomores who have apple

n(sophomore and apple) = 80

n(apple) = number of students who have apple

n(apple) = 261

P(sophomore | apple) = n(sophomore and apple)/n(apple)

P(sophomore | apple) = 80/261 exactly

P(sophomore | apple) = 0.30651 approximately

======================================

Part e)

define the events

A = junior who has apple

B = junior who has samsung

C = person is a junior

n(A or B) = number of juniors who have apple or samsung

n(A or B) = n(A) + n(B) ... A and B assumed mutually exclusive

n(A or B) = 87+93

n(A or B) = 180

n(C) = 235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = n(A or B)/n(C)

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 180/235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 36/47 exactly

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 0.76596 approximately

Y-1=5/6(x-4) in standard form
scoray [572]
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆(x - 4)
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆(x) - ⁵/₆(4)
           y - 1 = ⁵/₆x - 3¹/₃
             + 1         + 1
                 y = ⁵/₆x - 2¹/₃
        ⁻⁵/₆x + y = ⁵/₆x - ⁵/₆x - 2¹/₃
   -6(⁻⁵/₆x + y) = -6(-2¹/₃)
-6(⁻⁵/₆x) - 6(y) = 14
         5x - 6y = 14
