There are 36 girls.
_________________________
Explanation:
_______________________

2:3 = 24:x ; Solve for "x" ;
__________________________

2/3 = 24/x ;

Solve for "x" ;

2x = 24 * 3 ;

DIvide each side by "2" ;
_______________________
2x / 2 = (24 * 3) /2 ;

x = 12 * 3 = 36 .

What is the sum of the first nine terms of this Sequence if the first term is 0?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

D. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , n is n(n + 1)/2.

Here, you have the sum of 4(1, 2, 3, 4, ... , n), so the sum is 4[n(n + 1)/2]

In this case, the first term is 0, so the last term is the 8th term of the sequence above, so n = 8

4[n(n + 1)/2)] =

= 4[8(9)/2]

= 4[72/2]

= 4(36)

= 144

The closest answer is D. 160

A rectangle has a length of 4 feet and a perimeter of 14 feet. What is the perimeter of a similar rectangle with a width of 9 fe

mina [271]

Answer:

Option C. $42\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its perimeter is equal to the scale factor too

step 1

Find the width of the rectangle that has a length of 4 feet and a perimeter of 14 feet

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$

substitute the values and solve for W

$14=2(4+W)$

$W=7-4=3\ ft$

step 2

Find the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the width of the larger rectangle by the width of the smaller rectangle

$9/3=3$

step 3

Find the perimeter of the larger rectangle

To find the perimeter of the larger rectangle multiply the perimeter of the smaller rectangle by the scale factor

$3*14=42\ ft$
