The ratio is 4:5
so girls=4x
and boys=5x
(because you don't know how many boys or girls there are)
then the equation would be
4x+5x=18
9x=18
so x=2
 then 2 times 4 which equals 8
and 2 times 5 which equals 10

so there are 8 girls and 10 boys

Verizon [17]
The answer is:  "40 cm " .
_________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:
_________________________________________________________

\frac{200 ft }{ (x) cm} = \frac{5}{1}  ;

Solve for "x" (in "cm" ) ; 


→  5x = 200 * 1 ; 

→  5x = 200 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "5" ; 
   to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; 

→  5x / 5 = 200 / 5 ; 

to get:

→  x = 40 .

The answer is:  " 40 cm " .

What are two numbers that add up to 43 and their difference is 11?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

27 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 43

x - y = 11

You can add up the two equations so the ys are cancelled out.

2x = 54

x = 27

Plug x in to find y.

27 - y = 11

y = 16
