Answer:

20 males and 7 females

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of females is x and the number of males is y.

We know that the total number of students is 27, which can also be written as x + y. So, these two expressions are equal: x + y = 27.

There are 13 fewer females than males, so: x = y - 13.

Now, we can use substitution to solve this system of linear equations.

Since x = y - 13, we can plug in y - 13 for x in x + y = 27:

x + y = 27 ⇒ (y - 13) + y = 27 ⇒ 2y - 13 = 27 ⇒ 2y = 40 ⇒ y = 20

Then, we use this value of y to solve for x:

x = y - 13 = 20 - 13 = 7

Thus, there are 20 males and 7 females.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20 males and 7 females

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this because 27= 20+7

and 20-7=13

and the question says there are 13 less then the number of males and 20-7=13 females.

I hope this helps, sorry it took me so long to answer.

glenn swims 2/3 miles on monday, 3/4mile on wednesday, and 5/6 miles on friday. What is the total of distance glenn swims on tho
Archy [21]

Answer:

She swam a total distance of 2  1/4 miles in those three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so- The first thing you need to do is make all denominators equal to make these fractions able to be added together. So, I made all denominators 12. (Tell me if you don't know how to make them all the same denominator, and I'll be happy to help!)

<u>2/3  =  8/12   </u>

<u>3/4  =  9/12 </u>

<u>5/6  =  10/12</u>

Then, I added the numerators together. Like this:

<u>8 + 9 + 10 = 27 </u>

So, this would be:

<u>27/12</u>

Lastly, I changed this improper fraction to a mixed number. I multiplied the denominator twice because it looked like it would be closest to 27 without going over.

<u>12 * 2 = 24 </u>

<em>The "2" will be the whole number in the mixed fraction.</em> Now, I'm going to subtract 24 from the numerator.  

<u>27 - 24 = 3 </u>

<u>2 3/12</u>

After simplified, the fraction will be:

2 1/4
