Do -5- - 1 which is -5+ 1 the negatives cancel out and -5+1 is -4
then do -2-1 which is -3
so your slope is 4/3 (the negatives cancel out)
The sum of three and a number is 3+x
A fifty-fifty sugar-water solution would contain the same amount of water by weight as by sugar, that is, 0.5 lb water.
In other words, a solution that is made up of 0.5 lb sugar and 0.5 lb water is a 50% sugar concentration.

If there are 40% students that are girls , and the rest are 250 boys. Then that must mean there are 60% boys. Because that is the compliment.

.


There are 417 students
ii)
Because we know that the total amount is 417, we can find the amount of girls there are by multiplying the total by the percentage.

There are 167 students that are girls.
