Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
2,000 IBs (pounds) are in a ton.
Red to yellow.......7:3....added = 10
so 7/10 of the total students wore red and 3/10 of the total students wore yellow
and there are 300 total students...
7/10(300) = 2100/10 = 210 wore red
3/10(300) = 900/10 = 90 wore yellow
how many more wore red.....(210 - 90) = 120 more students wore red then yellow
Answer: slope= 6
Slope intercept equation= y= 6x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula: (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1) > (-4-8) ÷ (-1-1) = -12/-2 or 6
Plug slope (-6) and one coordinate into point slope form: y-1=m (x-1)
where m is slope and (1,8) would be (x,y)
Y-8= 6(x-1) > y-8 = 5x -6 > y= 6x +2
