Answer:

12 girls are in the classroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find out that the ratio is 3:4 based upon the question.

If there's 9 boys then the ratio is incomplete however you just need complete it based on the information given.

So, 3:4

9:?

9 / 3 = 3

4 x 3 - 12 girls

Thus, there being 12 girls in the classroom.

To check:

9:12;

9 / 3 = 3

12 / = 4

So the ratio still ends up being 3:4 therefore 9:12 is equivalent and correct!

Hope this helped! Have a great day or night wherever you are, stay safe!

If the population of a country increases at a rate of 1.5% annually and its current population is 430,000, how many years will i

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

That is 74 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5% = 0.015.

The equation for the rate of growth is P = 430,000(1.015)^n where n is the number of years.

Triple the population is 430,000 * 3 = 1,290,000, so:

1,290,000 = 430,000(1.015)^n

(1.015)^n = 1290,000 / 430,000 = 3

Taking logs of both sides:

n log 1.015 = log 3

n = log 3 / log 1.015 = 73.8 years

How are the rules for adding and subtracting negative numbers similar to adding and subtracting positive numbers? Justify your r

Fantom [35]

Answer: the rules are

+(+) Two like signs become a positive sign

−(−) 6−(−3) = 6 + 3 = 9

+(−) Two unlike signs become a negative sign

−(+)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 3+(+2) = 3 + 2 = 5, 6−(−3) = 6 + 3 = 9, 7+(−2) = 7 − 2 = 5,8−(+2) = 8 − 2 = 6 hope this helps you :)

Solve with steps 5^(x+3)=25^(x-2)

Taya2010 [7]

5^(x+3)=25^(x-2)

Apply the exponent rule ( 5 ^2 = 25, so remove the 5 and replace 25?with 2)

x + 3 = 2(x-2)

Simplify:

X + 3 = 2x -4

Add 4 to both sides:

X + 7 = 2x

Subtract x from both sides

X = 7

Answer: x = 7
