Answer: there are 200 girls in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a school, there is a ratio of 4 boys to 5 girls. The total ratio would be the sum of the proportion of boys and the proportion of girls. Therefore,

Total ratio = 4 + 5 = 9

If there are a total of 450 students, it means that the number of girls in the school would be

Proportion of girls/ total ratio × total number of students. Therefore,

The number of girls is

5/9 × 450 = 200

A man travelled 3/5 of his journey by rail, 1/4 by a taxi, 1/8 by a bus and the remaining 2 km on foot.What is the length of his

docker41 [41]

Hello friend,here is the solution

Let x be the total distance 

Distance travelled by rail = 3/5 x 

Distance travelled by taxi = 1/4 x

Distance travelled by bus = 1/8 x 

The equation we obtain is 
========================

x = 3/5 x + 1/4 x + 1/8 x +2

The cosine law

romanna [79]

$\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{sin(88^o)}{39.9}=\cfrac{sin(A)}{31}\implies \cfrac{31\cdot sin(88^o)}{39.9}=sin(A)
\\\\\\
sin^{-1}\left[ \cfrac{31\cdot sin(88^o)}{39.9} \right]=sin^{-1}\left[ sin(A) \right]
\\\\\\
sin^{-1}\left[ \cfrac{31\cdot sin(88^o)}{39.9} \right]=\measuredangle A
\\\\\\
50.93841^o\approx \measuredangle A\qquad thus\qquad \measuredangle C\approx 41.0619^o$
