5 0

Set up a proportion:

In a sample of 2:3, you have 5 kids in all.

So the the ratio of boys to kids in a sample of 5 is 2:5.

So set up a proportion:

$\frac{2}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{35}$

5x = 70

x = 14

Therefore, there are 14 boys in all.

14 Because if there are 7 groups of 3 girls that equals 21 then 2boys times 7 is 14 and 14+21=35

Which graph represents exponential decay?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(d) -- see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.

A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.
