Answer: 36 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

In a ratio, if possible, simplify first. Once the ratio is simplified you can multiply both numbers by the same number and the ratio will remain a ratio (which can be simplified). In this case, we can divide 24 by 2, because there are 24 boys in a ratio of 2 boys to 3 girls. The result is 12, and when we multiply 12 by 3 (the ratio for girls) we get 36. Therefore, the answer is 36 girls.

Answer:

Choice B

The mathematical model that best fits the data is a polynomial of order 2 as shown on the attachment.

The predicted global mean temperature in 2015 is; 412.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to obtain a scatter plot of the data and then fit a trend line. A quadratic polynomial fits the data well considering the large value of the coefficient of determination of 0.9984.

To determine the global mean temperature in 2015 we substitute x with 14 in the quadratic model;

y = 0.4643(14)^2 + 0.7976 (14) + 310.07

= 412.24

Select the best answer for the question

JulijaS [17]

The answer is A. To add fractions, the denominator has to be the same. What number do 9 and 3 share when multiplying ? It is 9.

So multiply 2/3 by 3/3 to get 6/9. And 1/9 by 1/1 to get 1/9. Now add 6/9 with 1/9 which is 7/9

Now add 7/9 with 5/18. 9 and 18 share 18. Multiply 7/9 by 2/2 which is 14/9. Add 14/9 to 5/18 which is 19/18
