Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say there are x males and y females in the class.

The sum of all male weights will be 72x, and the sum of all female weights will be 60y.

If we get a class mean weight, we have:

(72x + 60y) / (x+y) = 68

72x + 60y = 68x + 68y

4x = 8y

y / x = 4/8 = 1/2

So the ratio of females to males is the class is 1:2

Isaac is making soft pretzel nuggets. His recipe says that, after he makes the dough, he should divide it into 8 equal pieces. T

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 192 pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

number of pieces = 8

length of each piece = 2 ft

length of each pretzel = 1 in

number of pretzels = x

Process

1.- Convert ft to in

1 ft --------------- 12 in

2 ft --------------- x

x = (2 x 12) / 1

x = 24 ft

2.- Divide the length of each piece by the length of each pretzel

24/1 = 24 pretzels per piece

3.- Multiply the number of pretzels per the number of pieces

24 x 8 = 192 pretzels
