b=3
I found this out by subtracting and adding on both sides.
Answer:
36 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
3
Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as --------
5
Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.
How many are in the club altogether? Let this count be represented by c. Then (5/8)c = 60.
Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:
c = (8/5)(60) = 96. Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.
3/8 of this number are boys. This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.
We could also solve this problem in the following manner:
3 b
------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.
5 60
Then 5b = 180. Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys
Answer:
Division can be represented with ÷ as well.

Answer:
1010
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a whole class of questions that rely on the method to this one.
First add up what you know
1270 + 1150 + 870 + 1450 = 4740
Now add on the 5th month (which you don't know. Call it x)
4740 + x
Divide by 5
(4740 + x)/5 = 1150 and that is your equation
Solution
Multiply both sides by 5
5*(4740 + x) / 5 = 1150 * 5
4740 + x = 5750
Subtract 4740 from both sides
4740 - 4740 + x = 5750 - 4740
x = 1010
Which seems kind of low, but that's what the numbers come to.
