Answer:

The number of boys last year will be 50 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

330 members with 240 adults

The number of children will be;

330-240 = 90

2/3 of 90 are boys

= 2/3 * 90 = 60 boys

Number of girls is 90-60 = 30

Ratio of adults:boys:girls

= 240:60:30

divide through by 30

= 8:2:1

b) A year ago, there were 200 adults but the ratio still remains same

Let the number of girls be x, the number of boys will be 2x

Thus, total number is 200 + x + 2x = 200 + 3x

Total ratio is 8 + 2 + 1 = 11

mathematically;

8/11 * (200 + 3x) = 200

8(200 + 3x) = 11(200)

1600 + 24x = 2200

24x = 2200-1600

24x = 600

x = 600/24

x = 25

So the number of boys will be 25 * 2 = 50

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.<br> 6<br> 14
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

≈ 12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let x be the third side, then

x² + 6² = 14²

x² + 36 = 196 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 160 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{160} ≈ 12.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
