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

Your are designing a rectangular birthday card for a friend. You want the card's length to be 1 inch more than twice the card's
klemol [59]

The width of the card to the nearest tenth of an inch is 6.15 inches

<h3>Area of rectangle</h3>

  • Width = x
  • Length = 2x + 1
  • Area = 88 square inches

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

88 = (2x + 2) × x

88 = 2x² + 2x

2x² + 2x - 88 = 0

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= -2 ± √2² - 4(2)(-88) / 2(2)

= -2 ± √4 - (-704) / 4

= -2 ± √708 / 4

= -1/2 ± √177/2

x = 6.15 or -7.15 inches

The width of the rectangle can not be negative, so, 6.15 inches is the width.

5. We add all the freshman, 92 + 86 = 178.
6. We add all the sophomores surveyed, 116 + 52 = 168,
7. We add the numbers under the "yes" category, 92 + 116, which is 208.
8. We add the numbers under the "no" category, 86 + 52, which is 138.
11. A marginal frequency is the total of freshman, 222, and the total sophomores are 192. The marginal frequency of freshman are greater than that of the sophomores.
