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
24 and 28
These are the only two numbers (other than 20 itself) that have a factor of 4. And if you were to find all of their common factors, 4 would be the greatest!
13x - 6y = 22
x - y = 6
6(x-y) = 6*6
6x - 6y = 36
subtract both the equations
13x - 6x -6y + 6y = -14
7x = -14
x = -2
13*-2 -6y=22
-26 -6y=22
-6y = 48
y = -8
answer: x = -2
y = -8
No.
So, there are 1000 milligrams in one gram, making the 4000 mgs equal to 4 grams.
There are 1000 grams in one kilogram, so 4 kilograms is equal to 4000 grams.
4000 =/= 4
So, 4 kilograms and 4000 milligrams are not equal.
