A ratio can be written in three different ways: 3 to 4, 3:4, and 3/4

What does this mean? It means that for every group of 7 students (3+4) there are 3 boys and 4 girls. And how many groups do we have? We have:

245/7= 35 We have 35 groups, and we just said that each group has 3 boys and 4 girls:

35*3= 105 boys

35*4= 140 girls

_ _ _---------

Total: 245 students

-------------------------------------

Here's how to set up an equation:

Let's call the number of girls x. Since the total is 245 students, 245-x= boys:

 

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

Hayden likes building radio controlled sailboats with her father. One of the sails shaped like a tight triangle has side lengths
disa [49]

Answer:

the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches. the diagram is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

a scale factor of 1/4 means that the lengths of each side of the sail will be reduced by 0ne-forth (0.6) its original length. Therefore the lengths of the scale drawing before and after scaling are:

6 inches = 6 × 1/4 = 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 inches

8 inches = 7 × 0.25 = 2 inches

10 inches = 10 × 0.25 = 2.5 inches.

Therefore the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches as shown in the diagram attached.

What is the positive root of the equation x2 + 5x = 150?<br> ao
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 5x = 150

x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0

This equation will factor:

(x - 10)(x + 15) = 0

x - 10 = 0 or x + 15 = 0, so:

x = 10 or -15.
