Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of children in school be y.

Then according to the question (4/5) of children are boys.

Then as we know that the sum of fractions is 1.

The fraction of girls in school is

1 - (4/5)= (1/5)

So this means (1/5) of the total children in school are girls which means

Y × (1/5) =200 , according to question.

Which gives y =200×5=100

This means that the total number of children in school is 1000.

Evaluate (-28) + 38 + (-12). EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER, I KNOW IT’S -2, BUT WHY? How do I get -2? I am asking you to explain how you s
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

If the sign before the no. is same then they will get added and the resultant will have the same sign too.

Since before 28 and 12 , both of them have the negative sign , they will get added and the sign of their resultant will be negative too.

So , -28-12 = -40

Now, if the sign before the no.s are different then there will be subtraction, and the sign before the highest no. will be the sign of the resultant.

So,( -28)+38+(-12)

= -28+38-12

= -40+38

= -2

We know that 40> 38

sign before 40 is negative, therefore, their resultant i.e 2 will also get the negative sign

I hope this helps you...
