Answer:

465

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls at the festival be--------- g

Let the number of boys at the festival be---------b

The conditions are;

2/7 g = 3/5 b ---------------(i)

g-b= 165 ---------------------(ii)---------make g the subject of the expression

g= 165 +b---------------------(iii)--------use this equation in (i)

2/7 (165 +b)= 3/5 b -------multiply both sides by 7

7*2/7(165+b) =3/5*7 b

2(165+b)=21/5 b ------multiply both sides by 5

5*2(165+b) = 21/5*5*b

10(165+b) = 21 b -------open brackets

1650 +10 b = 21 b------collect like terms

1650 = 21 b- 10 b

1650 = 11 b -----divide both sides by 11

1650/11 = 11b/11

150 = b = number of boys

Using equation (ii) where g-b =165  ;  g-150 =165 , g= 165+150 =315 number of girls

Total number of children at the festival = 150+315 =465

Annie is creating a stencil for her artwork using a coordinate plane. The beginning of the left edge of the stencil falls at (−1
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8 -1

Step-by-step explanation:

referring to brainly.com/question/16983018

The given parameters are;

Location of the beginning of the left edge of the stencil = (-1, 2)

Location of the detail = (2, 1)

Ratio of detail distance from beginning to detail to distance from beginning to stencil end = 1:2

Distance from beginning to detail = √((-1 - 2)² +  (2 - 1)²) = √10

Given that the ratio of the length of the detail to the length of the end after the detail is 1:2 therefore;

√10:Length of stencil side = 1:2

Distance from detail to stencil end = 2×√10

Which gives;

Slope of line = tan⁺¹((2 - 1)/(-1 - 2)) = tan⁺¹(-1/3) = -18.435°

x-coordinates of the end of the stencil = 2√10 × cos(-18.435°) + 2 = 8  

y coordinates of the end of the stencil = 2√10 × sin(-18.435°) + 1 = -1  

The coordinates of the end of the stencil = (8, -1)

In an aquarium, there are 10 large fish and 5 small fish. Half of the large fish are red.
liraira [26]

Answer: I would think 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 10 large fish and half are red that would mean there is a 5/10 chance of getting a red fish from the large fish.. because there are 15 fish in total you would do 5/15 because there are 15 and 10 of those fish are large and 5 of the large fish are red. And 5/15 to its simplest form is 1/3! If this is right please give brainlist!
