Answer:
Total number of boys at the concert=100
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of boys and girls at the concert can be expressed as follows;
Total number of boys (b)=(ratio of boys/total ratio)×total number of boys and girls (t)
where;
Total number of boys=b
ratio of boys=2
total ratio=(2+7)=9
total number of boys and girls=t
replacing;
b=(2/9)×t...equation 1
The total number of girls (g)=Total number of boys (b)+250
g=b+250...equation 2
The value of b in equation 2 is replaced by the value of b in equation 1;
g=(2/9)t+250
And the total number can be expressed as;
Total number (t)=Total number of boys (b)+total number of girls (g)
t=b+g
where;
b=(2/9)t
g=(2/9)t+250
replacing;
t=(2/9)t+(2/9)t+250
t=(4/9)t+250
t-(4/9)t=250
(5/9)t=250
t=250×9/5
t=450
The total number of boys (b)=(2/9)t
replace t with 450
b=(2/9)×450
b=100
Total number of boys at the concert=100

12:40pm i think
Step-by-step explanation:
Using cross multiplication method,
x -12 -12x
x 2 2x
-24 -10x
Therefore,
=3(x-12)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 2 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: 1/4 + 3/4 is 1 whole plus 1/4+1/4 would equal the 1/2 you need.
So we are up to 3/4 already. 1 3/4 + 3/4 = 2 1/2
We need to add 2 more to get to 4 1/2
So the answer would be 2 3/4
2 3/4 + 1 3/4 = 4 1/2
