Answer: 11 and 9 1/2!
Step-by-step explanation:
Because look at the chart the most are? You guessed it! 11 and 9 1/2 hope it helps!
I think with the kinds of mixture problems, it's really helpful to make a table.
The equations you actually need are
and
. Since I was so close, I went ahead and just solved it anyway. You can see my setup on the attached image.
The boxes checked are right
a) true: In some instances, an irrational number can be added to an irrational number to become rational, but adding a rational number to one will not work
b) false: It only sometimes works
c) true: e.g. square roots --> (√5)² = 5
d) true: a rational number multiplied by any rational number will be rational
e) false: e.g. perfect squares --> √64 = 8
f) true: e.g. √(5/3) = (√5)/(√3) = (√5*√3)/3
Ratio is 5girls:7boys with total 72 students
5+7= 12
72➗12= 6
6(5:7)= 30 girls : 42 boys
New ratio is 3:4 with 48 boys
48➗4= 12
So for girls 3x12= 36
So started with 30 girls ended with 36 girls... 6 girls joined band during the school year.
I think the answer will be 3 ( x + 4) (x + 5).
