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

Hello,
The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is $2 \pi r$ where r is the radius. SO we can plug 4 in for r in this formula because 4 is the radius: $2 \pi 4=8 \pi$ . We are told to use 3.14 for $\pi$ so we get $8(3.14)=25.12$ . Therefore, the circumference is 25.12 meters.

Solve by completing the square<br><br>x squared +14x - 51=0

Nesterboy [21]

$x^2 +14x - 51=0\\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac =14^{2}-4*1*(-51)=196+204=400 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-14- \sqrt{400}}{2}=\frac{-14-20}{2}= \frac{-34}{2}=-17\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-14+ \sqrt{400}}{2}=\frac{-14+20}{2}= \frac{6}{2}=3$
