Answer:

240 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of girls be x.

160:x = 2:3

Multiply right side by 80--> 160:x = 160:240

x=240.

So there are 240 girls.

Answer:

There should be 240 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ultimately, you want 40% of the school to be boys and 60% of the school to be girls which equal to the ratio 2:3.  Divide 160 by 2 to get 80 for the first part of the ratio, then you should multiply that number by 3 to get 240 as the number of girls in that school.

The ratio should be 160:240 when you put the number of boys and girls in this situation.

A cone with volume 2880 m³ is dilated by a scale factor of 1/4. What is the volume of the resulting cone?
labwork [276]
The volume of the cone is 2880 m3.
The scale factor is 1/4.
The volume of the cone has the formula (1/3)π r² h.
A scale factor of 1/4 will reduce the dimensions by 1/4 which will result to a total volume reduction of (1/4)³ = 1/64
The new volume will be 45 m3

The function y= -16t^2 +24t represents the height y (in feet) of a tennis ball bouncing straight up from the ground t seconds af
taurus [48]
We want to know the time, <em>t</em>, it takes the ball to reach a height (<em>y</em>) of 0.
0=-16t^2+24t
We can factor out the GCF first.  The largest number that will divide evenly into 16 and 24 is 8.  Also, both terms have a <em>t</em>, so we can factor that out as well:
0=8t(-2t+3) (-16/8 = -2 and 24/8 = 3)
Using the zero product property, we know that either 8t=0 or -2t+3=0.  Solving the first equation, we would divide both sides by 8:
8t/8=0/8
t=0
This is at 0 seconds, before the ball is in the air at all.
Solving the second equation, we start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-2t+3-3=0-3
-2t=-3
Now we divide both sides by -2
-2t/-2=-3/-2
t=1.5
After 1.5 seconds, the ball will hit the ground again.

A company sells two versions of an antivirus software. The home edition costs $23.50, and the business edition costs $58.75. Las
Kamila [148]

Answer:

x + y = 745

23.50x + 58.75y = 29,668.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 745 copies were sold and  x represents the number of copies of the home edition sold and y represents the number of copies of the business edition sold:

x + y = 745

Since the home edition costs $23.50, and the business edition costs $58.75:

The money earned from home edition is = 23.50x

The money earned from business edition is = 58.75y

Since the company earned $29,668.75:

23.50x + 58.75y = 29,668.75
