Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ratio  = 7 + 1 = 8

Let the total number of students be x

Number of boys.

7/8 × x = 42

7/8 x = 42

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × 7/8 x = 42× 8

7x = 336

Divide both sides by 7

7x / 7 = 336/7

x = 336/7 = 48

Therefore total number of students is 48

I hope this was helpful, please rate as brainliest

Slope of a line perpendicular to 5x -9y = 1
romanna [79]

The perpendicular line would have a slope of 1/3.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So first we have to find the slope of the original line. We can do this by solving the equation for y.

5x - 9y = 1

-9y = -5x + 1

y = 5/9x - 1/9

To do the opposite, take the original slope (5/9) and change the sign (-5/9).

To do the reciprocal, take the slope we changed (-5/9) and flip it as a fraction (-9/5).

This gives us a new slope of
