My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1500 students

600 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

40% are boys, so 60% are girls.

Writing a proportion:

900 / 60% = x / 100%

x = 1500

There are 1500 students in the school, which means there are 600 boys in the school.

What is the length and the width of a rectangle with perimeter of 48 inches if its length is 7 inches longer than its width.
sattari [20]

Answer:

Length and the width of the rectangle is 15.5 inches and 8.5 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 7 inches + Width

=> P = 48 inches

=> L = (7 + W) inches............. (1)

Perimeter 'P' is the sum of all sides of the rectangle 2 (L + W)

∴ 48 inches = 2 (L + W) .................(2)

Substitute for L in equation (2)

∴ 48 inches = 2 [(7 + W) + W]

48 = 2[7 + 2W]

48 = 14 +4W

48 - 14 = 4W

34 = 4W

W = 8.5 inches

Recall that: Length, L = (7 + W)

∴ L = (7 + 8.5)

L = 15.5 inches

F (x) = |x + 3| -1 . Find the average rate of change from x = -6 to x = 8
Elenna [48]
Average rate of change is (f(8) - f(-6))/(8 - (-6)) = ((<span>|8 + 3| -1) - (</span><span>|-6 + 3| -1))/(8 + 6) = ((</span><span>|11| -1) - (</span><span>|-3| -1))/14 = ((11 - 1) - (3 - 1))/14 = (10 - 2)/14 = 8/14 = 4/7</span>
