Hello!

Convert the percentages to decimals by dividing them by 100, and then multiply them by the amount of boys and girls.

53 ÷ 100 = 0.53 as a decimal

0.53 × 300 girls = 159

This means that 159 of the 300 girls play sports.

Repeat this to calculate how many boys play sports.

39 ÷ 100 = 0.39

0.39 × 500 = 195

This means that 195 out of the 500 boys play sports.

Final Answer:

More boys play sports than girls.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

63 and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 8 = 15 parts

Divide the sum by 15 to find the value of one part of the ratio

135 ÷ 15 = 9 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

7 parts = 7 × 9 = 63

8 parts = 8 × 9 = 72

The numbers are 63 and 72

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a to the 7th power times b to the 8th power all over a to the 4th power time
defon
First you need to write the numerical equation for the given:

\frac{ a^{7}  b^{8} }{ a^{4}  b^{4} }

When you will simplify this fraction, you can divide the expressions. Based on the law of exponents when you divide like terms with different exponents, you can subtract the exponents of the denominator from the numerator. 

So if you will simplify the equation:

\frac{ a^{7} b^{8} }{ a^{4} b^{4} }

Subtract the following:

Exponents of a 7-4 and;
Exponents of b 8-4

Your answer should be 
a^{3}  b^{4}
