Given that Joseph has 24 cousins, and he has 6 more females than males, the number of females will be obtained as follows;
suppose he had x males, number of females will be x+6.
The total will be:
x+(x+6)=24
x+x+6=24
2x+6=24
2x=24-6
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
thus the number of male cousins is 9, the number of female cousins will be 9+6=15
We therefore conclude that he has 9 male cousins and 15 female cousins
Scale factor is a ratio. The correct option is C.
<h3>How are
scale drawings formed?</h3>
For a particular scale drawing, it is already specified that all the measurements' some constant scaled version will be taken. For example, let the scale be K feet to s inches.
Then it means
All feet measurements will then be multiplied by s/k to get the drawing's corresponding lengths.
The length of AB can be written as,
AB = √[(1-4)²+ (1-1)²]
AB = 3
Since the length A'B' is 6 units, therefore, the scale factor will be,
Scale factor = (Length after transformation)/(Length before transformation)
Scale factor = 6 /3 = 2
Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer:
The answer is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you add all of the numbers up and you get 24.
Add 5
y is found by adding 5 to x
Given:
10 yards required
5 2/3 yards on hand.
We need to subtract the yards on hand from the total yards required.
First, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5 2/3 = ((5*3)+2)/3 = (15+2)/3 = 17/3
Second, we need to multiply 10 by a fraction that will give us the denominator of 3.
10 * 3/3 = (10*3)/3 = 30/3
Third, we do subtraction using our derived fractions.
30/3 - 17/3 = (30-17)/3 = 13/3
Lastly, we simplify the improper fraction. Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator. Its simplified form is a mixed fraction.
13/3 = 4 1/3
Arliss needs to buy 4 1/3 yards more to complete the required yard length.
