Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

To complete this component you will need to insert parentheses in Expression 2 to change the order of operations so the expressi
Alika [10]

Given:

The expression is 5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1.

To find:

The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1

Now,

(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=9\times 2+6-4-1

(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+6-5

(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+1

(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=19

There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.

5+4*\left(2+6\right)-2*2-1=32\neq 19

5+4*2+\left(6-2\right)*2-1=20\neq 19

5+4*2+6-2*\left(2-1\right)=17\neq 19

And many more possibilities.

Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is (5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1.
