Answer:

The girls are 48 in number

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that the ratio of boys to girls is 7 : 12, there are 76 children, we are to find the number of girls.

To find the number of girls, we are to follow the steps below;

Boys : Girls

7 : 12

We take the ration number of girl which is 12 over the total ratio number then we multiply by 76.

The total ratio number = 7 + 12 = 19

That is;

Number of girls = $\frac{12}{19}$ × 76

= $\frac{912}{19}$

=48

Therefore there are 48 number of girls

12 girls out of 19, how many out of 76

12 - x
19 - 76

Cross product:

19x= 1152
/19. /19
x= ~61

There are (around) 61 girls

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$y> \frac{2}{3}x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the points

(-3,1) and (0,3)

step 1

Find the slope m of the line

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{3-1}{0+3}$

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

$b=3$ ----> the y-intercept is the point (0,3)

substitute the values

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+3$

step 3

Find the equation of the inequality

we know that

The slope is positive

Everything to the left of the line is shaded ( The inequality is of the form y > ax+b or y ≥ ax+b)

Is a dashed line (The inequality is of the form y > ax+ b or y < ax+b)

therefore

The equation of the inequality is of the form y > ax+b

The inequality is

$y> \frac{2}{3}x+3$
