Answer:

12 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 ÷ 2 = 12

(This is divided to find out 1 part of the whole class as ⅓)

⅓ = 12

1 (whole) take away ⅔ = ⅓

Since ⅔ + ⅓ = 1

⅓ = fraction of girls in class

1 part = 12

So ⅓ = 12 girls out of 36 total students

Hope this helps. :)

mars1129 [50]

Answer:A) 1.5

Step-by-step explanation: Bob runs at the rate of 8mins per mile

In 60mins his rate would be=60/8=7.5

Let a be the distance he further runs south

2s+3.25

Total distance covered in 50mins=Time=distance/speed=

50/60

50/60=2s +3.25/7.5

Cross multiply

60(2s+3.25)=50×7.5

120s+195=375

120s=375-195

S=180/120

S=1.5

500 cats were chosen. 52% of the cats liked to sleep inside the house. Fish was the favorite dish of 25% of those cats, while 62
Alex777 [14]
You would need to take 500 * .52 = 260 next take 260 * .25 to find how many cats like fish which equals 65, the probability that it likes fish and it sleeps inside can be found by taking .52 * .25 = .13 so there would be a 13% chance of picking a cat that sleeps indoors and likes fish, 435 cats dont like fish found by taking 500-65=435 and finally to find how many cats sleep outside take 500-260=240 then take 240 * .625 = 150 then 240-150 = 90 so 90 cats like to sleep outside and like fish thats it!=) Hope this helps!

Given: The coordinates of isosceles trapezoid JKLM are J(-b, c), K(b, c), L(a, 0), and M(-a, 0). Prove: The diagonals of an isos
In-s [12.5K]
We have to find the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL:
d ( KM ) = √ (( - a - b )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ (( a + b )² + c² )
d ( JL ) = √ ( ( a - ( - b ) )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ ( ( a + b )² + c² )
So the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL are congruent.
The lengths of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
