$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{boys}{18}$

3*boys=2*18

3*boys=36

boys=12

12+18=30

total number of students: 30

Answer:

30 students

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3 = x:18

X = number of boys

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{x}{18}$

multiply 18 by both sides

18 × $\frac{2}{3} = X$

X = 18 × $\frac{2}{3} = 12$

18 + 12 = 30

Answer:

r=7

Step-by-step explanation:

74000=28000(1+r/12)^12(14)

divide 74000 by 28000, and cancel out 28000.

1.00580=1+r/12

(100) .06962=r

r = 6.96198

the 6 after the 9 rounds 9 to 0, which rounds the 6 to 7

r=7

No, they did not eat the same amount. Barry ate less because his sandwich was smaller, so there would be a smaller half. Jonah ate more because his sandwich was bigger, so he would have eaten a bigger half.

Arlo invested $4000 in an account that earns 5.5% interest, compounded annually. The formula for compound interest is A(t)=P(1+i
