Answer: The required number of boys in the class is 18.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that in math class, the girl to boy ratio is 8 to 6 and there are 24 girls in the class.

We are to find the number of boys in the class.

Let 8x and 6x represents the number of girls and boys in the class.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$8x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.$

Therefore, the number of boys in the class is given by

$6x=6\times3=18.$

Thus, the required number of boys in the class is 18.

The outside temperature can be estimated based on how fast crickets chirp. At 104 chirps per minute, the temperature is 63 degre

Rasek [7]

Answer:

For 124 chirps per minute the temperature is 68 ºF.

For 68 chirps per minute the temperature is 54 ºF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are those whose graph is a straight line. A linear function has the following form

$f(x)=b+mx$

b is the constant term or the y intercept. It is the value of the dependent variable when x = 0.

m is the coefficient of the independent variable. It is also known as the slope and gives the rate of change of the dependent variable.

We know that

At 104 chirps per minute, the temperature is 63 ºF.

At 176 chirps per minute, the temperature is 81 ºF.

This information can be converted to Cartesian coordinates (x, y). Where x = the number of chirps per minute and y = the temperature in ºF.

To find a linear function that let us find the outside temperature from how fast crickets chirp we must:

Find the slope:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{81-63}{176-104}=\frac{1}{4}$

Find the equation:

$81=\frac{1}{4}\cdot 104+b$

Solving for b

$b=81-\frac{1}{4} (176)=37$

Therefore, the linear function is

$y=\frac{1}{4} \cdot x+37$

Now, using this linear function we can know the temperature when we know the chirps per minute:

For 124 chirps per minute the temperature is:

$y=\frac{1}{4} \cdot (124)+37=68$

For 68 chirps per minute the temperature is:

$y=\frac{1}{4} \cdot (68)+37=54$
