There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.
16*1.125=18
So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.
Answer:
The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20
The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Explanation</u>:-
Let 'x' be the width
Given data the length of a rectangular patio is 8 feet less than twice its width
2x-8 = length
The area of rectangle = length X width
Given area of rectangle = 280 square feet
x(2x-8) = 280
2(x)(x-4) =280
x(x-4) =140
x^2 -4x -140=0
x^2-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x+10)(x-14) =0
x = -10 and x = 14
we can choose only x =14
The width of the rectangle 14
The length of the rectangle 2x-8 = 2(14)-8 = 28 -8 =20
The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20
The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14
For Three hours = 84 ,bus stop

Answer:
$17.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the dollar amount per shirt be represented by s.
Let the dollar amount per pants be represented by p.
You have the following system:
3s+2p=104.81
2s+1p=61.33
If I multiply the bottom equation by -2, I can set the system up for elimination since the equations are already and the same form and I will have 2p and -2p in the same column there. 2p+(-2p)=0
Multiplying equation 2 by -2:
3s+2p=104.81
-4s-2p=-122.66
-----------------------Add the equations:
-1s =-17.85
Multiply both sides by -1:
s=17.85
So one shirt cost $17.85
