Answer:

20 students are girls. (15 are boys)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 3:4 and the total students is 35, you can make the following equation:

3x + 4x = 35

7x = 35

x = 5

then, multiply x by 4.

5*4 = 20.

20 students are girls. (15 are boys.)

sorry if this isn't well explained. hopefully I still helped!

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Equation=$140+$85=$225

Step-by-step explanation:

If she sold her bike for $140 less than she paid for it, and she sold it for $85, you add 140 to 85 to get out much she paid for. To check your answer do 225-140=85.

The cost of a car rental is twenty-five dollars a day plus ten cents a mile. What is the total cost, in dollars, if the car is r

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The total cost is D) $141

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we can use the equation: $y=25d+0.10m$

d= number of days m= number of miles

We know both of these values so we can plug them in and solve.

y= 25(3) + 0.10(660)

y= 75 + 66

y = 141

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression (sinx)/(1 + sinx) ?. A.1/(cscx + sinx). B

Alex73 [517]

We are given with the function (sinx)/(1 + sinx). To simplify the equation, we multiply the denominator with its conjugate. Hence the expression becomes (sinx)(1-sin x )/(1 + sinx)(1-sin x). Then we convert the expression into (sinx)(1-sin x )/ cos^2 x. Using trigonometric functions, we can then simplify the expression.

Suppose that a recent poll found that 49% of adults believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. Complete parts (a)

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The mean of X is 122.5 and the standard deviation is 7.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they believe that the overall state of moral values is poor, or they do not believe this. The probability of an adult believing this is independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
