The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:3. there are 9 girls. how many boys are in the class?

1 answer:

6 0

For every 3 girls, there are 4 boys. if there are nine girls, that expands to three extra boys, because for every three theres an extra one. so there are 12 boys (9+3.) the final ratio, boys to girls, is 12:9.

ella [17]

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain new type of business succeeds 60% of the time.

3 such businesses are tested for success.

Since these three businesses open (where they do not compete with each other, so it is reasonable to believe that their relative successes would be independent). we can say X no of successful businesses is Binomial

with p = 0.6 and n =3

Required probability

=The probability that all 3 businesses succeed is:

= $P(X=3)\\= 0.6^3\\= 0.216$

HHHHHHEEEELLLLLLPPPPP

We want to check how many intersections line A and B have, that is, we want to check how many common solutions do these equations have:

i) 2x + 2y = 8

ii) x + y = 4

use equation ii) to write y in terms of x as : y=4-x,

substitute y =4-x in equation i):

2x + 2y = 8
2x + 2(4-x) = 8
2x+8-2x=8
8=8

this is always true, which means the equations have infinitely many common solutions.

Answer: There are infinitely many solutions.

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-sevent

Otrada [13]

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.

Given a soda can with a volume of 15 and a diameter of 2, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can?

Naddika [18.5K]

Check the picture below.

so, a cone, that fits inside the cylinder, will have the same height "h" and radius "r". Thus

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h\qquad \boxed{\pi r^2 h}=15
\\\\\\
\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{\boxed{15}}{3}$
