Answer:

15 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

A class constituting of boys and girls:

Has a total of 35 students.

The number of girls outnumber that of boys by 5.

Let the number of boys be x such that the number of girls is x + 5.

∴

x + x + 5 = 35

2x + 5 = 35

2x = 35 - 5 = 30

x = 30/2 = 15

So there are 15 boys and 35 - 15 = 20 girls.

on a lake, Carol rowed a boat for 1/8 mile. Then luke rowed the boat for 3/8 mile. how far did carol and like row in all? simpli

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$Total = \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Carol = \frac{1}{8}$

$Luke = \frac{3}{8}$

Required

How far did they row together

To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.

$Total = Carol + Luke$

This gives;

$Total = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Take LCM

$Total = \frac{1+3}{8}$

$Total = \frac{4}{8}$

Simplify

$Total = \frac{1}{2}$

<em>Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile</em>

Answer:

+) m∠1 = m∠2 (vertical angles theorem)

+) m∠2 and ∠3 are supplementary (because a//b)

+)m∠3 = m∠4 (alternate interior angles theorem, c//d)

=> ∠1 and ∠4 are supplementary (substitution property of equality)

The cost of 2 jackets and 3 skirts was sh 1800. After the cost of a jacket and that of a skirt was increased by 20%,the cost of

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

New cost of jacket = $1.2x=1.2\times 600=720\ \text{sh}$

New costs of skirt = $1.2y=1.2\times 200=240\ \text{sh}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original cost of jacket = $x$

original cost of skirt = $y$

The equation will be

$2x+3y=1800$

New cost of jacket = $1.2x$

New costs of skirt = $1.2y$

The equation will be

$6(1.2x)+2(1.2y)=4800\\\Rightarrow 7.2x+2.4y=4800$

The equations are

$2x+3y=1800$ $\times 0.8$

$7.2x+2.4y=4800$

$1.6x+2.4y=1440$

$7.2x+2.4y=4800$

Subtracting the above two equations we get

$-5.6x=-3360\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3360}{5.6}\\\Rightarrow x=600$

$7.2\times 600+2.4y=4800\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{4800-7.2\times 600}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow y=200$

New cost of jacket = $1.2x=1.2\times 600=720\ \text{sh}$

New costs of skirt = $1.2y=1.2\times 200=240\ \text{sh}$ .
