Answer:

No. of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of boys to student is 3:7.

Number of girls in the school = 20

We need to find the number of boys in the school.

Let there are 3x boys and 7x number of students.

No. of girls = Total students - no. of boys

= 7x-3x

= 4x

ATQ,

4x = 20

x = 5

No. of boys = 3x

= 3(5)

= 15

Hence, there are 15 boys in the school.

distance = 500 feet

Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{VW}{YZ} = \frac{VX}{YX} = \frac{WX}{ZX}

completing the required values gives

\frac{100}{l} = \frac{60}{30} ( cross- multiply )

60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )

l = 500

distance across the swamp is 500 feet

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 7x - 2y = 4.<br> -2<br> 7/2<br> 4/7
sesenic [268]
Answer: 7/2

To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.
