(7+11) is 18, (8/2) is 4, 18-4 is 14! If this expression is 6 less than her age, she would be 20!
Given that,
Total number of children = 65
The ratio of boys to girls is 3 :2.
To find,
The number of girls in the grade.
Solution,
Let there are 3x girls and 2x boys.
ATQ,
3x + 2x = 65
5x = 65
x = 13
So, no of girls = 3x
= 3(13)
= 39
Hence, there are 39 girls in the grade.

2x - 4y = -2
2x + 3y = -16
------------------subtract
-7y = 14
y = 14/-7
y = -2
2x - 4y = -2
2x - 4(-2) = -2
2x + 8 = -2
2x = -2 -8
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5
answer x = -2 and y = -5
check:
2(-5)- 4(-2) = -2
-10 +8 = -2
-2 = -2.....true
2x + 3y = -16
2(-5)+3(-2) = -16
-10 + (-6) = -16
-16 = -16...true
T= total length
T=1 2/5 meters + 4 1/5 meters
add the whole #s and the fractions
T= (1+4) + (2/5 + 1/5)
T= 5 3/5 meters total
Hope this helps! :)
