Answer:

\dfrac{9}{35} is the fraction of 8th graders who are boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of 8th graders = x

Given that, \frac{3}{7} of 8th graders play sports

\Rightarrow 8th graders who play sports = \frac{3}{7} \times x

Also, Given that, \frac{3}{5} of 8th graders that play sports are boys

Number of 8th graders that play sports, and are boys = \frac{3}{5} \times \text{Number of 8th graders who play sports}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{3}{7} \times x\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{35} \times x

Hence, the answer is:

\dfrac{9}{35} is the fraction of 8th graders who are boys.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C, as growth on stock E is bigger from the growth of stock B

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to resolve this problem, we must have in mind that the negative numbers are smaller when they are more distant from 0, and that positive numbers are bigger when they are more distant from 0. So, the biggest number of growth is the one that is more distant from 0.

The correct answer is C, as growth on stock E is bigger from the growth of stock B.

beni is shopping for a new cell phone plan. company a charges$72.25for a new phone and $85.50 per month.company b charges $151.2
tigry1 [53]
Missing questions and subsequent solutions:
(a) Write an equation for company A for cost, C, number of months, n, that Beni will pay for the phone.

Solution:
For company A:
C = 72.25 + 85.50n

(b) Write an eqyation for company B for cost, C, and number of months, n, that Bei will pay for the phone.

Solution:
For company B:
C = 151.25 + 65.75n

(c) Write an inequality when the cost from company A is better than cost from company B.

Solution:
72.25 + 85.50n ≤ 151.25 + 65.75n
(85.50-65.75)n ≤ (151.25 - 72.25)
19.75 n ≤ 79
n ≤ 4

(d) Value of n for which cost from the two companies will be the same.

Solution:
If cost for companies A and B are the same, then
72.25 + 85.50n = 151.25 + 65.75n
(85.5 - 65.75)n = 151.25 - 72.25
19.75n = 79
 n = 79/19.75 = 4 months

After 4 months,
C = 72.25 + 85.5*4 = $414.25
