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

Which ordered pair can be plotted together with these four points, so that the resulting graph still represents a function?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

B.(-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a function, there can not be two different values of y corresponding to the same value of x.

See the graph attached.

Here, the points on the graph are (1,2), (2,-3), (-2,-2) and (-3,1).

If we consider point (-2,2) then there will be two points corresponding to the same x value i.e. (-2,-2) and (-2,2).

Similarly, if we consider the point (2,-2) or (2.-1) then also there becomes more than one values of y for a single value of x i.e. x = 2.

So, if we consider the ordered pair (-1,2) then only the graph still represents a function. (Answer)

1.) What is a qualitative prediction? * and 2.) What is a quantitative prediction? * THERE IS A PIC THAT COME WITH QUESTION PLEA
frozen [14]
I believe a qualitative prediction requires a prediction with out any numerical data to support it while a quantitative predictions require a prediction supported by numerical data.

A real world example of this is in chemistry during a lab.  qualitative data is based off of observation with out numerical data such as a color change.  quantitative data is based off of observation with numerical data such as the mass changes.

(quantitative prediction is decision from data based on percentages, probabilities, and so on while qualitative predictions are based off of given information).
I hope this helps and let me know if you need further explaining.
