<span>Let x=# of boys and y=# of girls 

Because "There are 357 seniors", this means that . Solving for "y", we get  


Since "The ratio of boys to girls is 7:10", this tells us that we have the ratio: 

 


 Start with the given equation 


 Plug in  


 Cross multiply 


 Distribute. 


 Subtract  from both sides. 



 Subtract  from both sides. 


 Combine like terms on the left side. 


 Divide both sides by  to isolate . 


 Reduce. So there are 147 boys 


 Go back to the isolated equation 


 Plug in  


 Subtract. So there are 210 girls

Obasi earns 150%, percent of his regular hourly wage while working overtime. What fraction of his regular hourly wage does Obasi
hammer [34]

Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.

Let us convert percentage into fraction first:

To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:

a%=\frac{a}{100}

Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:

So,

150%==\frac{150}{100} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5

Obasi earns \frac{3}{2} of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.

the height of a kicked soccer ball is represented by the function f(x)=8x-2x^2 where x is the number of seconds since the ball w
____ [38]

Answer:

Result at time x = 4 seconds the soccer ball hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the moment just before the ball is kicked, it is on the ground and so the height f(x) is zero meters. After the kick, the ball goes through the air and it's path can be described by a (mountain) parabola.

So lets see after how many second (x) the height = 0 once again.

f(x) = 8x-2x^2

f(x) = 0

8x - 2x^2 = 0

Try to write the formula in two terms

-2x * (x - 4) = 0

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

Now solve each term = 0 separately, meaning, solve as many equations as there are terms in the product.

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0.

Solve the first term:

-2x = 0

Multiply left an right from the = singn with the factor -1 gives this outcome:

2x = 0

x = 0

Solve the second term:

x-4 = 0

x = 4

Result at time x = 4 seconds the soccer ball hit the ground.

x = 4

x = 0
