Colfax:

Add the ratio numbers together:

5 + 4 = 9

Divide total students by that:

270 / 9 = 30

Multiply each ratio by 30:

Boys = 30 *5 = 150

Girls = 30 * 4 = 120


Do the same for Winthrop:

4 +5 = 9

180 /9 = 20

Boys = 20 * 4 = 80

Girls = 20 * 5 = 100


Total students = 270 + 180 = 450

Total Girls = 120 + 100 = 220


Fraction that are girls = 220 / 450 which reduces to 22/45

Solve the inequality for x.<br> 7x-26&lt;-5(2-3x)
Masja [62]

Answer:

x > 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-26<-5(2-3x)

first write out the equation

7x-26<-10 +15x

then solve the -5(2-3x)

by multiplying -5 by 2 and -5 by 3x which will give the answer -10 and 15x

7x-15x<-10+26

Now put the numbers with X first and since we moved the (+15x) into the otherside we change its sign to (-15x)

and because we put the (-26) into the otherside we do the same thing and change it into (+26)

-8x<16

Now we combine the same numbers so 7x-15x and -10+26

Next we divide both sides by (-8)

so (-8x÷-8) and (16÷-8)

and because we divided with a negative number (-8)

and we have an inequality( < ) we flip the sign from smaller than to greater than.

and so the final answer is x>2

or x is greater than 2
