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

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The height of the building = 56 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB be the height of the building and BC be the distance of the car from the building on the ground.

Now , ∠ C = 32°   [Alternate interior angles ]

According to the trigonometry,

\tan x =\dfrac{Perpenicular}{base}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \tan 32^{\circ} =\dfrac{AB}{90}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.6248693519=\dfrac{AB}{90}\\\\\Rightarrow\ AB = 90\times 0.6248693519=56.238241671\approx56

Hence, the height of the building = 56 feet.

Angelo cuts a triangle from a sheet of paper as shown. what is the measure of the triangle?
NikAS [45]
Http://prntscr.com/anjh06

The image I saw was a paper with 90° edges. the 90° was cut into 2, 75° and x.

x = 90° - 75° = 15°

Interior angles of a triangle should equal 180°. The other corner of the paper is part of the triangle. It has a measure of 90°

The two angles are 15° and 90°. To find the remaining unknown angle, we deduct the two angles from 180°

3rd angle = 180° - 15° - 90°
3rd angle = 180° - 105°
3rd angle = 75°

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.
irina1246 [14]
Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.

A collection of coins contains a total of sixteen dimes and quarters. It is worth $2.20 in all. How many dimes are in the collec
grin007 [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters. Then the number of dimes is 16-q and the total value is ...

  0.25q +0.10(16 -q) = 2.20

  0.15q +1.60 = 2.20 . . . . . . . simplify

  0.15q = 0.60 . . . . . . . . subtract 1.60

  q = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  16-q = 12

There are 12 dimes in the collection.

76 19 in ratio simplest form
Nata [24]
Putting the two numbers together in fraction form of a ratio, we have 76/19. We know that something multiplied by 19 will equal to 76.

When we try to multiply 4 and 19 together, we have our nice answer 76. We then replace out values in the original ratio, in which we get the final answer of 4:1, 4/1, or 4 to 1.
