1.573173141822894. I think this is the answer but not 100% sure. Good luck!
It’s True.. you take the “extreme” variable from each proportion and cross multiply them before setting them equal to the product of the two “means” (which are just the other 2 numbers in the proportions).
It would be the last graph because at the x-intercept, it crosses the 5
Answer:
45 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
- Remark
- There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
- But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
- Let x = the total number of students.
Solution
- 40/100 * x = 30 Change the % to a decimal
- 0.4 x = 30 Divide both sides by 0.4
- 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4 Do the division
- x = 30/0.4
- x = 75 students in total
Formula
Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.
Givens
- Total = 75
- Number of boys = 30
Solution II
- 75 = x + 30 Subtract 30 from each side
- 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
- 45 = x
- There are 45 girls in the class.
If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.
Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles
