Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.

Answer:

There are 9 boys in the choir

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 3 : 4

Substitute in 12 for girls and represent new value for boys as x

3 : 4 = x : 12

Write as fractions

3/4 = x/12

Cross-Multiply (numerator * denominator / numerator * denominator)

3(12) = 4(x)

36 = 4x

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = 9

There are 9 boys in the choir

Hope this helps :)

kakasveta [241]
You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.

Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.

Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.

What is the area of this figure?​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(x - 2)² - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 - 26 = (x - 2)² - 30
