Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

<em>Additional comment</em>
I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
x1 = 2, y1 = -2 and m = 3/4
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-2) = 3/4(x - 2)
y + 2 = 3/4(x - 2)
Multiply each term by 4
4y + 8 = 3(x - 2)
4y + 8 = 3x - 6
4y = 3x - 6 - 8
4y = 3x - 14
Answer:
6.0
Step-by-step explanation:
This involves using SOH CAH TOA.
we use Sin as we want to find x (which is side O, and we are given H).
So we get sin37 = O/H
= x/10
so x = 10 sin 37 = 6.018... = 6.0 to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
5=3+2
7=5+2
9=7+2
so this is 3,5,7,9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = the first integer
(x - 1)^2 = the second integer.
x^2 - (x - 1)^2 = ?
First, let's plug a number into our equation for x.
(2)^2 - (2 - 1)^2 = ?
4 - (1)^2 = ?
4 - 1 = 3
As we can see the difference is odd but it's also the sum of the two consecutive integers.
2 + 1 = 3.
This works for all numbers. Let's plug another number into our equation for x.
(4)^2 - (4 - 1)^2 = ?
16 - (3)^2 = ?
16 - 9 = 7
4 + 3 = 7
Try any number and it will always be odd.
