Answer:

40 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of girls in band class:

$\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{24}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

3x = 120

x = 40

So, there were 40 girls in band class.

Answer: There are 40 girls in band class.

____________________________________________________________

The ratio for this problem is:

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{x}$

To get from 3 to 24, you would multiply by 8. You need to do the same thing to 5 to get x.

5 times 8 equals 40.

There are 40 girls in band class.

Lamonte has 50 m of fencing to build a three-sided fence around a rectangular plot of land that sits on a riverbank. (The fourth

MatroZZZ [7]

The dimensions of the rectangular plot of land that sits on a riverbank is 32 m by 9 m or 18 m by 16 m.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable for its value while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width. Hence:

x + 2y = 50

x = 50 - 2y

Also:

xy = 288

(50 - 2y)y = 288

y = 9; and y = 16

x = 32; and x = 18

The dimensions of the rectangular plot of land that sits on a riverbank is 32 m by 9 m or 18 m by 16 m.

√48a^4 b^5 c^3 d simplify and keep it in radical form

Morgarella [4.7K]

I will assume the square root extends all the way across.

$\sqrt{48a^4b^5c^3}$

$\sqrt{2^4\cdot3\cdot a^4b^5c^3}$

$\sqrt{(2^2)^2\cdot3\cdot(a^2)^2\cdot(b^2)^2\cdot b\cdot c^2\cdot c}$

$\sqrt{(4)^2\cdot3\cdot(a^2)^2\cdot(b^2)^2\cdot b\cdot c^2\cdot c}$

$\sqrt{(4\cdot a^2 \cdot b^2 \cdot c)^2\cdot3\cdot b\cdot c}$

$4\cdot a^2\cdot b^2\cdot c\sqrt{3\cdot b\cdot c}$

$\boxed{4a^2b^2c\sqrt{3bc}}$

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope intercept form.

grigory [225]

Answer:

y = -3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (m) = (-8 - -5) / (2 - 1) ... difference of y/difference of x

m = -3

y = mx + b

y = -3x + b

for (3,-11) b = y + 3x = -11 + 3x3 = -2

equation: y = -3x - 2
