X=number of boys
y=number of girls.

We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8       ⇒x=3y/8

(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24

x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9

number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11

There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class. 

Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.

we could use sine
SineO equal to opposite over hypothenus
SineO equal to 2/10
SineO equal to 0.2
O equal to Sine^1(0.2)
O equal to 11 .5
The angle between the ramp and the horizontal is 11.5 degrees

Which of the following statement(s) describes the rate of change of f over the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3? Select all that apply.
Vesnalui [34]

2 Answers: Choice B and Choice C

The rate of change is 2.

The rate of change is constant.

======================================================

Explanation:

The first point on the left is when x = 1.5 and it has a height of y = 1

The point (1.5, 1) is on the line.

So is the point (3,4) for similar reasoning.

Compute the slope between those points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-1)/(3-1.5)

m = 3/(1.5)

m = 2

The slope is 2, which is the same as saying the rate of change is 2. This only applies when x > 1 of which the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3  is a part of.

Since the slope stays at 2 on the interval 1.5 ≤ x ≤ 3, this means we consider the slope to be constant. If the curve bended at all on this interval, then it wouldn't be a constant slope.
