Answer:

324 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given;

  • Number of students = 864
  • Staff members = 80
  • Fraction of boys = 5/8

We are required to determine the number of girls in the school;

Total number of students is 864

Therefore;

Number of boys = 5/8(864)

                           = 540

Thus;

Number of girls = 864 - 540

                          = 324

Hence, there are 324 girls in the school

Division of two quantities is expressed as the ____ of those two quantities.
andreev551 [17]


Division of two quantities is expressed as the  quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient  is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers.  One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is  by employing the long division method where the quotient  value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

To copy an angle using only a compass and a straightedge, begin by marking the vertex of the new angle. Then draw a ray from the
podryga [215]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Place the point of the compass on the vertex of our original angle. Open the compass to a random width and draw an arc through both legs of the angle. Mark the points of intersection with this arc and the sides of the angle.


Explanation:


In order to copy the angle, we need to have some reference for how wide the angle is.


So far all we have is a ray. To get the reference for the width that we need, we will construct an arc in the original angle such that it intersects each side of the angle.


We will then set the compass width to these points of intersection. This will be how we set the width of the new angle.

The answer is D. First, it is the segment addition postulate because the two segments make up the whole. Second, it's substitution because you are substituting EF + FG for FH.
