Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
Answer:
decimal: x0.6 or fraction: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
15.5-3.5=12. this is how many hours he has worked already.
12/1⅓=9. this is because how many hours he has worked per how many hours he worked per day to show how many days he worked
the answer is 9 days.
12hours * 1day/1⅓ hours
^^ignore that if it doesn't make sense, but basically the hours will cancel and you'd be left with days as your only unit to show why you would divide 12 by 1⅓
hope this helped!
