Answer:11
Step-by-step explanation:
Boys : girls=7:1
Sum of ratio=7+1=8
Let them number of girls be y
Then they number of boys=y+66
Total number of pupils=y+y+66
Total number of pupils=2y+66
Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)
y=1/8 x (2y+66)
Cross multiply
y x 8=2y + 66
8y=2y + 66
Collect like terms
8y-2y=66
6y=66
Divide both sides by 6
6y/6=66/6
y=11
The number of girls is 11
Answer:
A = 14.2/1.1 hours
B = 5.091 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate 2 simultaneous equations
5.7A + 6.8B = 111.40..........(1)
A +B =18...............................(2)
Multiply each item in (2) by 5.7 to get
5.7A + 5.7B = 97.2............(3)
subtract (1) - (3) on each side
5.7A -5.7A + 6.8B - 5.7B = 111.40 -97.2
1.1B = 14.2
B = 14.2 /1.1
to get A use equation (2)
A = 18 - B
A = 18 - 14.2/1.1 = 5.091
Answer:
To use division to find the decimal equivalent of a rational number, divide the top number by the bottom number. You will get a decimal number.
