Answer:

There would be 350 girls in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this by creating two proportions. the first fraction would be the number of girls out in the sample:

7/12

The second part would be the amount of girls in the whole school. We can set the girls as x since we do not know.

x/600

Now we can set the two equal to each other and cross multiply.

7/12 = x/600

600*7 = 12*x

4200 = 12x

350 = x

Add 20% and 10% (30%). Then, because it is two days combined, it would be 30% of 200. Divide each by 2, and there is your answer.

A novel is 11/16 inch thick. If there are two shelves, each 99 inches wide, how many novels will be able to fit on the two shelv
34kurt
First let's just combine the shelves to make it easier. 99 + 99 = 198.

We can simply divide 198 by 11/16 to get the answer. First let's convert 11/16 to a decimal.

11 divided by 16 is 0.6875

So 198 divided by 0.6875 is 288.

288 novels can fit on both the shelves.
