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

Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her stor
Burka [1]

Answer:

24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her storage bench

So, she needs 13 yards

converting into feet

1 yard = 3 feet

13 yards x 3 = 39 feet

Now, she already has  15 feet of fabric.

Finding out the difference : 39 - 15= 24 feet

Therefore, she needs 24 feet more of fabric

Kaylis [27]
4 1/2 + 3 3/4 = 4 2/4 + 3 3/4 = 7 5/4 = 8 1/4...what he needs for A and B

He used 12 inches of cable...
12 - 8 1/4 = 11 4/4 - 8 1/4 = 3 3/4....length left after A and B are made

he doesn't have enough to make the last one...
5 1/8 - 3 3/4 = 41/8 - 15/4 = 41/8 - 30/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8....he is short by 1 3/8 inches

(3,4) and (-5,6) are "coordinate planes".

These appear in algebra and math when you're graphing. These coordinate planes consist of "x" and "y" (x,y). The x's (which are 3 and -5 in your situation) should be graphed accordingly using the x-axis and the y's (which are 4 and 6 in your situation) should be graph accordingly using the y-axis.

SOMEONE HELP ME ON THESE QUESTIONS
dem82 [27]

1.)  The sum(addition) of 21 and 5 times(multiplication) a number f is(=) 61.

f = unknown number/variable     [So 21 plus 5f(5 times f) equals 61]

21 + 5f = 61   [21(one-time) + 5f(number x variable) = 61(total)]

2.)  Seventeen more(addition) than seven times(multiplication) a number j is(=) 87.

j = unknown number/variable    [So 17 plus 7j(7 times j) equals 87]

17 + 7j = 87  

3.)   n = number of calls

18 + 0.05n = 50.50  

[Company charges $18 plus five cents per call(n), and the total charge was $50.50]

4.)     s = the number of students

40 + 30s = 220

[Tutor charges $40 plus $30 per student(s), and the total charge was $220]
