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

Find a value of x that makes the equation true:<br> -(-2x + 1) = 9 – 14x
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

x=0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-2x+1)=9-14x

distribute:

2x-1=9-14x

add  1 to both sides

2x = 10-14x

add 14x to both sides

16x=10

divide by 16 to isolate x

x = 0.625

check:

-(-2(0.625)+1) = 9-14(0.625)

0.25 = 0.25

FIND (-8/3)+(-1/4)+(-11/6)+3/8-3
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

-7 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

-\frac{8}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\frac{11}{6}\right)+\frac{3}{8}-3\\=-\frac{64}{24}+\left(-\frac{6}{24}\right)+\left(-\frac{44}{24}\right)+\frac{9}{24}-3\\\\=\frac{-64+(-6)+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-70+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-114+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-105}{24}-3 \\\\=\frac{-35}{8}-3\\ \\=-4\frac{3}{8}-3\\\\=-7\frac{3}{8}

So our solution is -7 3/8
