Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
I think the answer's 7/8. If you convert 1/4 to 2/8 and add them together, you add 5/8 and 2/8 to get 7/8.
Just remove the parenthesis since you are adding them and combine like terms
x+5+2x+3
3x+8
I forgot how to do this but i really wish i could help u
Answer:
The probability is 8 over 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
14 of the musicians play both guitar and drums, 28 play drums, 18 play the guitar.
It means n(G and D)=14, n(D)=28, n(G)=18.
Using the formula of Union:-
n(G or D) = n(G) + n(D) - n(G and D).
n(G or D) = 18 + 28 - 14.
n(G or D) = 32.
It says 60 musicians applied for a job at a music school. So n(U)=60.
The probability that the applicant who gets the job plays drums or guitar is = n(G or D)/n(U) = 32/60 = 8/15.
Hence, the probability is 8 over 15.
