Answer:

There are 60 boys and 80 girls in Franklin School.

Step-by-step explanation:

"franklin school has 3 boys for every 4 girls in the fifth grade." means that the ratio of boys to girls is: 3:4

It can also be written as 3/4

Also given

Total number of students: 140

We will use ratios to find the number of boys and girls in shool.

First of all, we have to calculate the sum of ratio which is: 3+4 = 7

Let b be the number of boys and g be the number of girls

Then

b = \frac{Ratio\ of\ boys}{Sum\ of\ ratio} * Total\ students\\= \frac{3}{7} * 140\\= 3*20\\=60\\g = \frac{Ratio\ of\ girls}{Sum\ of\ ratio} * Total\ students\\g = \frac{4}{7}*140\\= 4*20\\=80

Hence,

There are 60 boys and 80 girls in Franklin School.

The term –18xy and which other term are like terms?
alexgriva [62]
So,

We know that we cannot add or subtract quantities of the same kind.

-18xy can only be added/subtracted to 4yx, which is the same as 4xy.  The result would be -14xy, or -14yx.

The correct option is B.

A microscope can magnify the object it is looking at 10×4 times. How many times is that? (MCC.8.EE.3) A. 40,000 times B. 40 time
damaskus [11]

Answer:

10×4 = 40

10^4 = 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

10^4 is another way to write 10⁴ = 10·10·10·10 = 10,000.

Essentially, the exponent tells you how many places to the right of the leading digit the decimal point lies (here, the number of zeros in the number).

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

The appropriate answer depends on what you mean by your problem statement. Some microscopes magnify 40 times; others magnify 10,000 times, so we cannot tell the appropriate answer using our knowledge of microscopes.

PLEASE HALP I GIVE OUT BRAINLIEST
jekas [21]

Since there is two negative signs in the original equation, you need two negative signs in the equivalent one as well.

Because one of the negatives if before the fraction, it doesn't matter if the second negative is on the 13 or on the 12.

The answer is A.

I need the smaller and larger angle
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x)+(3x+13)=90                

if you look at the beam, it includes a 90 degree angle.

7x+13=90

distributive property

7x=77

subtracted both sides by 13

x=11

divided both sides by 7 to isolate x

4(11)         3(11)+13

44             33+13

                36

4(x) is the larger angle
