Given that there are 32 girls and 17 boys, the total number of students in the class is 49. In order for us to know the percent of the girls in class, what we are going to do is to simply divide 32 by 49 and then multiply by 100 and the answer is 65.3%. Hope this answers your question.
Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
Find the area of the top, which is a circle.
Area of a circle = pi x r^2
Area = 3.14 x 1.5^2 = 7.065
Now for the volume multiply the area of the top by the height:
7.065 x 12 = 84.78 cubic inches
Round to the nearest tenth: 84.8 cubic inches
