Answer:

I believe that the answer is 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of girls to boys is 13 to 8 so there are 13 girls for every 8 boys so if there are 16 boys (8X2) then there are 26 girls (13X2)

How do you divide fractions?

Zanzabum

2/8 divided by 1/4. Steps: 1. Division in math actually means multiplication. You just have to multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction (reciprocal= denominator and numerator are switched). 2. Do 2/8 times 4/1. 3. 2 times 4= 8 and 8 times 1= 8 4. Your answer would be 8/8 which equals 1. This is how you divide fractions

Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. F(x) = 4x2 8x 1 –1 = 4x2 8x –1 = 4(x2 2x)

Ymorist [56]

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

<h3>What is quadratic equation ?</h3>

Any equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called quadratic equation .

Given work of Penelope is

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&0=4(x+2)^{2} \\&0=(x+2)^{2} \\&0=x+2 \\&-2=x\end{aligned}$

Now we can see that Penelope determined the solutions of the quadratic function by completing the square. so he must have been done as following

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=4 x^{2}+8 x+1 \\&-1=4 x^{2}+8 x \\&-1=4\left(x^{2}+2 x\right) \\&-1+4=4\left(x^{2}+2 x+1\right) \\&3=4(x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{3}{4} =x+2)^{2} \\&\frac{\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x+2 \\&\frac{-2\pm\sqrt3}{2} =x\end{aligned}$

By solving the quadratic equation using completing the square method we got that Penelope should have added 4 to both sides instead of adding 1.

What is the goal of solving equations?

Arada [10]

Answer:

The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable.
