Answer:

300 girls were there in the gym.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls was 4:3, after 160 boys left the gym, the ratio became 4:5.

Now, to find the number of girls in the gym.

The girls in the gym does not left, their quantity is same before and after.

So, we multiply the both ratios to make the girls ratio same:

4:3 × 5 = 20:15

4:5 × 3 = 12:15

Now, <em>we find the units of the ratio</em>.

<em>The ratio of boys dropped down by 160</em>:

20 - 12 = 8 units.

160 = 8 units

Now, dividing both sides by 8 we get:

20 = 1 unit

So, 1 unit = 20.

Now, girls = 15 units

So, 15 × 20 = 300.

Therefore, 300 girls were there in the gym.

The diagram below shows a rectangle with a shaded region. What is the area, in square meters, of the shaded region in the diagra
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

Area of rectangle= l×b

                            =9×3

                            = 27m²

Area of triangle= \frac{1}{2} b×h

                        =\frac{1}{2} ×3×3

                        =\frac{9}{2} ⇒4.5

Area of shaded region= area of rectangle- area of triangle

                                     =27-4.5

                                     =22.5m²

The given figure is a parallelogram find the value of x and y
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

7y - 2 = 5y + 4

7y - 2 - 5y = 4

2y - 2 = 4

2y = 4 +2

2y = 6

y = 6/2

y = 3

3x +2 = 23

3x = 23 - 2

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7
