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!

Determine the equation of the line, written in slope-intercept form, that passes through the points (1,1) and (5,−1).
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

y=-1/2x+3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-1-1)/(5-1)

m=-2/4

m=-1/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=-1/2(x-1)

y=-1/2x+1/2+1

y=-1/2x+1/2+2/2

y=-1/2x+3/2

1)96/8=12
2)(95*6+5)/6 : (24+1)/3 = (95*6+5)/6 : 2*25/6 = 575/6 *6/50=575/50
=23/2=11 1/2
11 1/2

3) (11 1/2)*12 area of the one  type of the wall, there are 2 such walls
 (11 1/2)*12*2
(8 1/3)*12 area of the second type of the wall, there are 2 such walls
(8 1/3)*12 *2

Altogether area of the walls:
(11 1/2)*12*2 + (8 1/3)*12 *2=12*2(11 1/2 + 8 1/3)= =24(19+3/6+2/6)=24(19+5/6) = 456 +24*(5/6)= 456+20= 476

Tamara needs total 476  square feet, which is less than 480 square feet, so she has enough paint.
