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

How to solve the system of equation 500y-600x=2800 , 400y-400x=2400 by elimination
tatiyna

Answer:

x=2 and y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation 1:

500y-600x=2800

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 100

\frac{500y-600x}{100}=\frac{2800}{100}

\frac{500y}{100}-\frac{600x}{100}=28\\\\5y-6x=28

Equation 2:

400y-400x=2400

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 400.

\frac{400y-400x}{400}=\frac{2400}{400}

\frac{400y}{400}-\frac{400x}{400}=6\\\\y-x=6

Now the system of equation is:

(1a) 5y-6x=28

(2a) y-x=6

Solving by elimination

Multiplying equation (2a) with -5

-5(y-x)=-5\times 6

(2b) -5y+5x=-30

Adding equations (1a) and (2b) in order to eliminate y

      5y-6x=28

+  -5y+5x=-30

We get -x=-2

∴ x=2

Plugging x=2 in equation (2a).

y-2=6

Adding 2 both sides.

y-2+2=6+2

∴ y=8

3/4x + 11 &lt; .3x + 3/4<br><br>Solve inequality. pls
Rashid [163]
<span><span><span><span>3/4</span>x</span>+11 </span>< <span><span>0.3x</span>+<span>3/4
</span></span></span>First turn 3/4 from both sides to decimals to get..
.75x+11 < 0.3x+.75
And then subtract 0.3x from both sides to get 
.45x+11 < .75
And then subtract 11 from both sides to get
.45x < -10.25
And then divide both sides by .45x to get
x < -22.77777778

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

11 no

46+4x=90 degree(being perpendicular)

4x=90-46

x=44/4

x=11

12 no

They are complementary angles

6 no

angle B+27=180 degree(being straight line)

angle B=180-27

angle B=153

10 no

angle 38 +angle DFE=180 degree(being supplementary)

angle DFE=180-38

angle DFE=142 degree

5 no

They are vertically opposite angles.

7 no

angle AGF and angle CGD (because they have common arm and vertex)
