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

grandymaker [24]

Answer: $\frac{2}{2},1\ \text{and}\ \frac{2}{2},1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{2}\ \text{is equivalent to 1}$

$\text{So, }\ \dfrac{2}{2},2\ \text{is equivalent to 1,2}$

$\text{Similarly, }\ \dfrac{2}{1},1\ \text{represents 2,1 or 1,2}$

$\text{So,}\ \frac{2}{2},1\ \text{and}\ \frac{2}{2},1\ \text{are represents same on number line.}$

<ABD has a measure of 36 degrees. a)find the compliment of the angle b)find the supplement of that angle

victus00 [196]

A) The complement of an angle is the other angle that can be added to the original to add up to 90 degrees. The complement of <ABD would be 90-36=54

b) The supplement of an angle is whatever number can be added to the original to add up to 180 degrees. The supplement of <ABD would be 180-36=144
