Answer:

There are 4 boys and 17 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 21 students in Mrs. Clark's class, 5th of the students are boys and rest are girls.

out of 21 every 5th student is boy, so total boys are = \frac{21}{5}

                                                                                      = 4\frac{1}{5}

The whole number is 4, so the number of boys are 4.

The number of girls = 21 - 4 = 17 girls

There are 4 boys and 17 girls in the class.

If you place a 10-foot ladder against the top of a 6-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Anika [276]

Answer: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2

6^2 + x^2 = 10^2

36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36

x^2 = 64. square root of both sides

x = 8

Answer: n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3n +2(n + 2) = 9n + 12

(simplify 2(n + 2)) =

3n + 2n + 4 = 9n + 12

(subtract 9n from both sides)

3n + 2n - 9n + 4 = 12

-4n + 4 = 12

(subtract 4 from both sides)

-4n = 8

(divide -4 from both sides)

n = -2
