Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                            3

Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as  --------

                                                             5

Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.  

How many are in the club altogether?  Let this count be represented by c.  Then (5/8)c = 60.

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:

c = (8/5)(60) = 96.  Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.

3/8 of this number are boys.  This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.

We could also solve this problem in the following manner:

 3          b

------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.

  5        60

Then 5b = 180.  Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys

Hey! I have some geometry questions today!
Volgvan

Answer:

  • 29
  • 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Question 1</h3>

It is assumed the chords have equal length: PQ = SR

If the vertexes connected with the center, the both chords will form a right triangle, with the hypotenuse being the radius.

<u>Then the radius is found using Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • r = \sqrt{20^2 + 21^2} = \sqrt{841} = 29
<h3>Question 2</h3>

<u>Use the intersecting secants theorem: and solve for x:</u>

  • FS*FT = FP*FQ
  • 4(4 + x) = 5(5 + 3)
  • 16 + 4x = 40
  • 4x = 24
  • x = 6
