Number of boys=x
number of girls=y.

We can suggest this system of equations:
x/y=8/7                  ⇒x=8y/7
x+y=195

this system of equations can be solve by substitution method.

(8y/7)+y=195
least common multiple=7
8y+7y=1365
15y=1365
y=1365/15
y=91

x=8y/7
x=8*91 / 7
x=728/7
x=104

Answer: there were 104 boy campers and 91 girl campers.

When a>0 and c is a positive integer, the expression (4a)^c/3 is equivalent to
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

a is greater than 0 and is inside the root of the equation

when a fraction is a power the bottom number of the fraction becomes the nth root and the top number becomes what the number is powered by

in this case the bottom number is 3 so the three goes on the place where the nth root goes

it is to the c power so c is on the outside
