Answer:

520 girls attended the picnic

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

step 1

Let

Homewood middle school total students=1200

A=unknown=total of girls

(2/3)A=total girls attended the picnic

B=unknown= total of boys

(1/2)B=total boys attended the picnic

step2

replace

A+B=1200\ equation (1) \\\frac{2A}{3}+\frac{B}{2}=730\ equation(2)\\

Step 3

find A and B

from equation (1)

A=1200-B\ equation\ (3)\\\\

from equation (2)

\frac{2A}{3}+\frac{B}{2}=730\\\frac{2A}{3}=730-\frac{B}{2}\\A=(730-\frac{B}{2})*\frac{3}{2} \\1200-B=1095-\frac{3B}{4}\\A=A\\-B+\frac{3B}{4}=1095-1200\\-\frac{B}{4}=-105\\ B=420\\\\hence\\\\A=1200-B\\A=1200-420\\A=780

total girls attended  the picnic=(2/3)A=(2/3)780=520

520 girls attended the picnic

Match each whole number with a rational, exponential expression. 1. 512 2. 8 3. 343 4. 216 5. 729 6.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

1. 2^9 = 512

2. 2^3 = 8

3. 7^3 = 343

4. 6^3 = 216

5. 3^6 = 729

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we have to express the number as a multiplication of prime numbers, from there we can take the expression as a power

1.

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512

2^9 = 512

2.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

2^3 = 8

3.

7 x 7 x 7 = 343

7^3 = 343

4.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216

6^3 = 216

5.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729

3^6 = 729

A boy makes a cuboid of plasticine of sides 5cm, 2cm, 5cm. How manny such cuboids will he need to form a cube?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L.C.M. of 5,2=10

so it should be  of dimensions 10×10×10

it should have 5 cuboids in first row.

then it will make a cuboid 5×10×5

5 cuboids in the second row on top of first row .

Then it will make 5×10×10 cuboid

To make 10×10×10

double the cuboids  to make the length=10 and height=10..

so in all 20 cuboids are needed.

2 rows of 5 cuboids on the floor and 2 rows of 5 cuboids on the top.

in all 10 cuboids of  dimensions 5×2×5

so 9 more cuboids are needed to make a c
