Well let's see.
If the figure is split up into 10 pieces, then
each piece is 1/10 of the whole figure.
If 2 of the pieces are shaded, then
2/10 of the whole figure is shaded.
How many pieces are left ?
There were 10 pieces all together, and
2 of them are shaded. Hmmm. I think
there are probably (10 - 2) = 8 of them left
that are not shaded.
8 pieces makes 8/10 of the whole figure.
First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).
9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.
The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.
This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct.
But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)
Answer:
<u>The answer is option C. 6a-7</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
5(3a-1)-2(3a-2)=3(a+2)+v
Solve for v
∴ v = 5(3a-1)-2(3a-2) - 3(a+2)
∴ v = 15a - 5 - 6a + 4 - 3a - 6
∴ v = 15a - 6a - 3a - 5 + 4 - 6
∴ v = 6a - 7
<u>So the answer is option C. 6a-7</u>
