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 :)

For a standard normal distribution, which of the following expressions must always be equal to 1?
frosja888 [35]
For a standard normal distribution, the expression that is always equal to 1 is P(z≤-a)+P(-a≤z≤a)+P(Z≥a). This expression represents all of the possible values in a curve, or in other words, the total area of a curve. According to standard normal distribution, the total area of a curve is always equal to 1.

The sum of 3 numbers is 15. two times the smallest is 1 less than the largest, while the sum of the largest and smallest is 10.
GalinKa [24]
Let x = smallest number 
      y = middle number 
      z = largest number 
Equations:
sum of 3 numbers: x + y + z = 15
two times smallest is 1 less than largest: 2x = z - 1
sum of largest and smallest is 10: z + x = 10

z + x = 10 can be solved for z ⇒ z = 10 - x
substitute into 2x = z - 1 ⇒ 2x = 10 - x - 1
                                           3x = 9
                                             x = 3 (divided both sides of equation by 3)
Since z + x = 10 ⇒ z + 3 = 10 ⇒ z = 7
Substitute values for x and z into x + y + z = 15 ⇒ 3 + y + 7 = 15
                                                                                y + 10 = 15
                                                                                y = 5
