Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.

Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of  4 Boys & 3 Girls

Leya [2.2K]

The level from each growth factors is an illustration of combination

There are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors

<h3>How to determine the number of combination</h3>

From the complete question (see attachment), we have the number of levels in each growth factor is:

  • Lighting = 3
  • Age = 5
  • Temperature = 2
  • Humidity = 3

So, the number of combination (n) is:

n = 3 * 5 * 2 * 3

n = 90

Hence, there are 90 ways of combining one level from each growth factors

Choose the definition for the function. <br> Please help me!!!
Zina [86]

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

These are in Y = MX + B form

The first line has a positive slope, so the coefficient "M" is positive.

The second line has a negative slope, so the coefficient "M" is negative.

2)

The first line has a filled in dot at Y = 2.

Since it's to the left (less than X direction)...

X <= 0

The second has an empty circle at Y = 4.

Since the line goes to the right....

0 < X

3)

Also, the "+2" and the "+4" in the equation as the "+ B" indicates where each line will cross the Y axis.

From these things, we can infer that B is the correct answer.

How is the function related to its parent function? Graph the function by translating the parent function.
AleksAgata [21]

y = x² is the parent function.

This is a parabola, with minimum turning point at (0, 0 ) and axis of symmetry the y- axis

y = x² - 5

is the graph of x² translated  5 units vertically down ( indicated by - 5 )

with minimum turning point at (0, - 5 )

In a classroom of 33 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 3:8. How many boys are in the class?
Hunter-Best [27]
X=number of boys
y=number of girls.

We can suggest the following system of equations:
x+y=33
x/y=3/8

We solve this system of equations by substitution method.
x/y=3/8       ⇒x=3y/8

(3y/8)+y=33
least common multiple=8
3y+8y=33*8
11y=33*8
y=(33*8)/11
y=3*8
y=24

x+y=33
x+24=33
x=33-24
x=9

number of boys /total number of students=9/33=3/11

There are 9 boys and 24 girls in the class. 

Answer: C: 9. since 3/11 of the students are boys.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3/2y - 3 + 5/3z

When

y=6

z=3

3/2y - 3 + 5/3z

Substitute the value of y and z

3/2(6) - 3 + 5/3(3)

=18/2 - 3 + 15/3

=9-3+5

=6+5

=11
