Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:3, then

  • there are 2x boys;
  • there are 3x girls.

If there are 18 girls in the class, then

3x=18\\ \\x=6

Thus, there are

  • 2\cdot 6=12 boys;
  • 3\cdot 6=18 girls;
  • 12+18=30 students in total.

The probability of a boy being in the class is

P=\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4

Answer:

dV/dt = 3×10^2 × 0.5 = 150 in^3/sec

the volume of the cube is increasing at 150in^3/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume V = length l^3

V = x^3

Differentiating both sides;

dV/dt = 3x^2 dv/dt

Given;

x = 10 in

dx/dt = 0.5 in/sec

dV/dt = 3×10^2 × 0.5 = 150 in^3/sec

the volume of the cube is increasing at 150in^3/sec
