Answer: Girls = 28, That is there are 12 more girls than boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls

5 : 7

To find the population of boys;

5/12 × 48

note ( 12 is gotten by the addition of 5 and 7)

5/12 × 48 = 192/12 = 16

The population of boys are 16

To get the population of girls;

7/12 × 48 = 336/ 48 = 28

Number of girls = 28

28-16 = 12

Therefore there are 12 girls more than boys

5 + 7 = 12
48 / 12 = 4
Boys: 4 * 5 = 20
Girls= 4*7=28

84 times 0.24 area model
CaHeK987 [17]
I'm not sure if I get what you mean, because I don't think I remeber what an area model is. But if it literally means making a model to describe the area, you could draw a square and put 84 on the length or the width and the o.24 on the other. Show that length times width = area. And then multiply. But if I am right, that's not what you are looking for, huh?

A^2+b^2=c^2 so c^2=12^2+16^2 which then simplifies to c^2=144+256 then simplify that to c^2=400. After that take the square root of c^2 and the square root of 400. So your answer is c=20

Divide the polynomials:<br> x^2-3x+9/x-2
Kruka [31]

The value of dividing x^2-3x+9 by x-2 is x + 3

<h3>Ways of dividing polynomials</h3>

There are several ways to divide polynomial functions; some of these ways include

  • By factorization
  • By long division
  • By synthetic division
  • By using technology such as graph

<h3>How to divide the polynomials?</h3>

The expression for the polynomial division is given as:

x^2-3x+9/x-2

To divide polynomial functions, we make use of the division by factorization method

Start by expanding the numerator of the polynomial division

x^2-3x+9/x-2 = x^2 + 3x - 6x + 9/x-2

Factorize the equation

x^2-3x+9/x-2 = x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)/x - 2

Factor out x + 3 from the numerator

x^2-3x+9/x-2 = (x- 2)(x + 3)/x - 2

Cancel out the common factors

x^2-3x+9/x-2 = x + 3

Hence, the value of dividing x^2-3x+9 by x-2 is x + 3

Jarrett's puppy weighed 3 3/4 ounces at Birth. At 1 week old, the puppy weighed 5 1/8 ounces. At 2 weeks old, the puppy weighed
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:  The answer is 7\dfrac{7}{8} ounces.

Step-by-step explanation: Given in the question the weight of Jarrett's puppy at birth, one week old and 2 weeks old are as follows:

b_0=3\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{15}{4}~\textup{ounces},\\\\\\b_1=5\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{41}{8}~\textup{ounces},\\\\\\b_3=6\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{13}{2}~\textup{ounces}.

We can see that

b_1-b_0=b_2-b_1=\dfrac{11}{8}.

So, the weight of the baby will make an arithmetic progression with first term 'a' and common difference 'd' as follows:

b_0=\dfrac{15}{4},~~d=\dfrac{11}{8}.

Thus, the weight of the puupy after 3 weeks will be

b_3=b_0+3\times d=\dfrac{15}{4}+3\times\dfrac{11}{8}=\dfrac{30+33}{8}=\dfrac{63}{8}=7\dfrac{7}{8}~\textup{ounces}.
