5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is represented by 3 parts of the ratio.

Divide number of girls by 3 to find value of one part of ratio.

$\frac{15}{3}$ = 5 ← value of 1 part of ratio, thus

5 parts = 5 × 5 = 25 ← number of boys

Total members = 15 + 25 = 40

A boat travels 45 miles east (right) then 60 miles north (up), how far is it from the starting point?

tekilochka [14]

A boat travels 45 miles east then 60 miles north, how far is it from where it started. Draw this. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is the square root (45^2)+(60^2)=square root of 2025=3600=square root of 5625, or 75 miles.
