Answer:

500 students in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 68% = 32%

boys percentage 68%

girls percentage 32%

difference 68 - 32 = 36% = 180

36 ÷ 18 = 2 × 50 = 100

180 ÷ 18 = 10 × 50 = 500

Answer:

500 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a system of equations you could write where t is the total amount of students in the school, b is the number of boys, and g is the number of girls:

0.68t=b

b+g=t

180+g=b

0.68t+g=t

g=0.32t

180+g=b

180+0.32t=0.68t

180=0.36t

t=500

A garage floor measures 150 feet by 120 feet. A scale drawing of the floor on grid paper uses a scale of 1 unit and 15 feet.What

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is $\frac{1}{15}\ \frac{unit}{feet}$

That means ---> 1 unit in the drawing represent 15 feet in the actual

To find out the dimensions of the drawing, multiply the actual dimensions by the scale drawing

$150\ ft=150(\frac{1}{15})=10\ units$

$120\ ft=120(\frac{1}{15})=8\ units$

therefore

The dimensions of the drawing are 10 units by 8 units

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}$

Solve for b

$169=49+b^{2}$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

we have that

Jayden's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm$

substitute and solve for c

$7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}$

$49+169=c^{2}$

$218=c^{2}$

$c=\sqrt{218}\ cm$

$c=14.76\ cm$

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

Sheridan's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}$

Solve for b

$49+b^{2}=169$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

x=1

Explain:

y=2x^2−4x+1

dy/dx=4x-4

The line of symmetry will be where the curve turns (due to the nature of the

x^2 graph.

This is also when the gradient of the curve is 0.

Therefore, let

dy/dx=0

This forms an equation such that:

4x−4=0

solve for x,

x=1

and line of symmetry falls on the line

x=1
