Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g

Hey, there!!
C = {6,8}
n(C) means cardinality of set.
We define cardinality of set as the no. of elements present in set.
It contains 2 no. of elements.
so, its cardinality is n(C) is 2.

DE/2 = 30.5
CE=30.5
DC=30.5
3x + 5 = 30.5
3x = 30.5 - 5
3x = 25.5
25.5/3 =8.5
x=8.5
Hi! im in 7th and learning this, its 26x9 and then minus that by 9x9
Answer:
Girls = 16
Total students = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.
To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.
Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.
40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6

Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.
16 + 24 = 40
