Answer:

12 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

Number of boys = 3

Number of girls = 2

Boys: Girls

3:2

Let :

a = boys

b = girls

Hence, a : b = 3 : 2

a/b = 3/2  

Cross Multiply

2a = 3b .......... Equation 1

a = 3b/2

If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and girls

Hence,

a: b + 4 = 3 : 3

a/b + 4 = 3/3

Cross Multiply

3a = 3(b + 4)

3a = 3b + 12 ........ Equation (2)

From Equation 1: a = 3b/2

Substitute 3b/2 for a in Equation 2 we have:

3a = 3b + 12 .........Equation 2

3(3b/2) = 3b + 12

9b/2 = 3b + 12

Cross Multiply

9b = 2(3b + 12)

9b= 6b + 24

9b - 6b = 24

3b = 24

b = 8

Substitute 8 for b in Equation 1

a = 3b/2

a = 3 × 8/2

a = 24/2

a = 12

Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 12

Help please :) about to post more too

Answer:

Lets say test tubes = t, and beakers = b

1 pack of (t) is $4 less than 1 pack of (b)

Since i have no prior information we are going to use variables for this equation:

1t (1 pack of test tubes) is $4 less than 1b (1 set of beakers)

so to quantify the equation, we have 8t and 12b.

if b is a number that IS quantifiable such as $5 we can easily figure out this answer.

Lets use and example that 1 set of beakers is $8, if we multiply $8 by 12 (the number of sets of beakers), we get: 96

Using the same example, if 1t is $4 less than 1b than 1t = $4. So, if we multiply $4 by 8 (the amount of packs of test tubes), we get: 32

If you take both of those numbers: 96, and 32 and you divide them you get 3. so that means that 1t = 3b

Answer = 1t = 3b

This may not be correct due to the little information that i got however i hope that, that works out for you :)

How many times around the Earth is 3.7 trillion apples ?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

7,663 times around the Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1\ trillion=1,000,000,000,000=1*10^{12} (one million million)

The average size of an apple is approximately 8.3 cm

Convert to km

8.3\ cm=8.3/100,000=8.3*10^{-5}\ km

Multiply by 3.7 trillion apples

3.7*10^{12}*8.3*10^{-5}=30.71*10^{7}=3.071*10^{8}\ km

Divide by the circumference of earth (40,075 km)

3.071*10^{8}/40,075=7,663\ times
