You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48) 3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)
So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.
Answer:
x=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Expand.
6-2x-12=3x+4
6−2x−12=3x+4
2 Simplify 6-2x-126−2x−12 to -2x-6−2x−6.
-2x-6=3x+4
−2x−6=3x+4
3 Add 2x2x to both sides.
-6=3x+4+2x
−6=3x+4+2x
4 Simplify 3x+4+2x3x+4+2x to 5x+45x+4.
-6=5x+4
−6=5x+4
5 Subtract 44 from both sides.
-6-4=5x
−6−4=5x
6 Simplify -6-4−6−4 to -10−10.
-10=5x
−10=5x
7 Divide both sides by 55.
-\frac{10}{5}=x

to 22.
-2=x
−2=x
9 Switch sides.
x=-2
x=−2
Answer:
30% students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of total students of a school.
63% are girls then total number of girls = (0.63)x
37% are boys then total number of boys = ( 0.37)x
Now 23% of girls wear contacts then total number of girls
= (0.63x) × 0.23
= (0.1449x)
And 42% of boys wear contacts then total number of boys wearing contacts
= (0.37x) ( 0.42)
= (0.1554)x
Total students wears contacts = ( 0.1449x) + (0.1554x)
= (0.3003x)
Percentage of students wear contacts =
× 100
=
× 100
= 30%
All 30% students wear contacts.
