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 .

Estimate the sum of 23 and 71

Natali [406]

Estimation:

23 --> rounded to 20
71 --> rounded to 70
70 + 20 = 90. I rounded both numbers down so the exact sum must be only a little greater than my estimate.

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A) -2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using quadratic formula

x² + 4x + 7 = 0

The Almighty Formula

= -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

Where ax + bx² + c = 0

From the above question

a = 1, b = 4, c= 7

Hence,

-4 ± √4² - 4 × 1 × 7/2 × 1

-4 ± √16 - 28/2

=( -4 ± √-12)/2

Since

b² - 4ac < 0

We have two complex roots

Simplifying

( -4 ± √-12)/2

= -4/2 ± √-12/2

= -2 ± 2√3i/2

= -2 ± √3i

Therefore,

-2 - √3i , -2 + √3i

or

-2 - i√3 , -2 + i√3

Option A , is the correct answer

Yolanda has 2 granola bars. Each serving is of a bar of granola.

RSB [31]

The model of the granola bars is an illustration of <em>ratios and proportions</em>.

The model that shows the total serving is model A

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Bars = 2}$

$\mathbf{Serving = \frac{2}{5}}$

So, the number of servings in both bars is:

$\mathbf{Total = Bars \div Serving}$

Substitute 2 for Bars and 2/5 for Servings

$\mathbf{Total = 2 \div \frac{2}{5}}$

Express as multiplication

$\mathbf{Total = 2 \times \frac{5}{2}}$

$\mathbf{Total = \frac{10}{2}}$

$\mathbf{Total = 5}$

The total number of servings is 5

The model that shows a total serving of 5 is model A (see attachment)
