Answer:

45 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Remark
  • There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
  • But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
  • Let x = the total number of students.

Solution

  • 40/100 * x = 30              Change the % to a decimal
  • 0.4 x = 30                       Divide both sides by 0.4
  • 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4      Do the division
  • x = 30/0.4
  • x = 75 students in total

Formula

Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.

Givens

  • Total = 75
  • Number of boys = 30

Solution II

  • 75 = x + 30                 Subtract 30 from each side
  • 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
  • 45 = x
  • There are 45 girls in the class.

The Rogers family drove a total of 482 miles, starting on
Trava [24]

you add up 138+225 and you get 363 then you subtract 482-363 this is how you set it up:

   4  8  2

- 3  6  3

------------

you have to borrow because 3 does not go into 2 so you change the 8 into a 7 then you 10 to 2 and you get 12 so this is what it looks like:


     4   7   12

-    3   6   3

-------------------

 so you then subtract 12-3=9 then 7-6=1 then 4-3=1

so this is what it looks like

    4     7    12

--- 3    6     3

--------------------

    1     1     9

so on Sunday they rode 119 miles

Marcus states that the polynomial expression 3x3 – 4x2y + y2 + 2 is in standard form. Ariel states that it should be y2 – 4x2y +
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Here Ariel is wrong because 3x^3 is higher power than y^2

3x^3 goes first

then the mixed term -4x^2y

then the y^2

then the 2

So, Marcus is right

Standard form means that you write the terms by descending degree. here's main rules how to write polynomial expression in the standard form:

1. write the term with the highest exponent first (terms of third degree in our case 3x^3 );

2. write the terms with lower exponents in descending order (term -4x^2y followed by y^2 );

3. remember that a variable with no exponent has an understood exponent of 1 (here are no such terms);

4. a constant term (a number with no variable) always goes last (term 2).
