Add the ratios together: 5 + 3 = 8

Divide total students by 8:

32 / 8 = 4

Multiply each ratio by 4 to find the number of each:

Boys = 4 x 5 = 20

Girls = 3 x 4 = 12

There are 20 boys.

Answer:

5x+3x=8x

8x = 32

x=32/8 = 4

boys are 4 x 5 = 20

girls are 4 x 3 = 12

A shop sells packs of black pens, packs of red pens and packs of green pens.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

85 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of green pens sold is shown below;

As the number of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 3:5:6

And, the ratio of sold of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 7:3:4

So, the ratio of pens in a number of pens is

= 3 × 7 : 5 × 3 : 4 × 6

= 21: 15 : 24

= 7: 5 : 8

And, the total of 212 pens are sold

So, the number of green pens sold is

= 8 × 212 ÷ (7 + 5 + 8)

= 85 pens

A section of concrete pipe 30m long has an inside diameter of 1.2m and an outside diameter of 1.8m. what is the volume of concre

Fudgin [204]

length of pipe= 30m

Inside dia. = 1.2m

Outside dia. = 1.8m

Volume of concrete= (outside dia. - inside dia.)h

V= (pi)
v= [(3.14*0.9*0.9)-(3.14*0.6*0.6)]30

v= (3.3534-1.1304)30
v=(2.233)30 = 66.690m cube

since it's volume the answer 66.690 is in cubic meters.

What is the equation of the line h Th ya has a y intercept of (0,-3) and passes through the point (-9,-9)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Y intercept is at point ( 0.-3)

So, at x = 0, y = -3

or, C = -3

Also, the point on the equation line is (x,y) = (-9,-9)

Now, by <u>SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM</u> of a line equation,we get:

y = m x + C : m = slope of line ......... (1)

So, substituting the values of C and (x,y) , we get:

-9 = m (-9) + (-3)

or, -9 + 3 = - 9 m

or, m = -6/-9 = 2/3

or, m = 2/3

Now, substitute the value of m back in to the line equation (1)

$y = m x + C \implies y = (\frac{2}{3}) x - 3\\\implies 3y = 2x - 9$

Hence, the line equation is given as: 3 y = 2 x - 9.
