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

Mr. Gengel wants to make a shelf with boards that are 1 1/3 feet long. If he has an 18 foot board, how many pieces can he cut fr
In-s [12.5K]
Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

3. is the answer, as you can see D is one and a half units to the right of the y axis at a height of 3 units and C is one and a half units to the left of the y axis with the same height.  So D is "reflected" about the y axis and only the x coordinate changes sign from positive to negative.
