Answer:

The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

b : g = 3 : 5

5 b = 3 g ..... (1)

Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9

So, the ratio is

(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

4 b - 36 = 6 + g

4 b - g = 42 .... (2)

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

The length of a rectangular garden is 4 less than twice the width find the perimeter and area of the garden
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:

w(2w-4)=96

2w²-4w-96=0

w²-2w-48=0

(w-8)(w+6)=0

w=8 or -6

Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺

Pls help! 50 POINTS!

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

So we have the equation:

2x+3y=1470

To change into the slope-intercept form, we need to isolate the y-variable. Thus, subtract 2x from both sides:

(2x+3y)-2x=(1470)-2x

The left side cancels:

3y=1470-2x

Now, divide both sides by 3. The left side cancels:

(3y)/3=(-2x+1470)/3\\y=-\frac{2}{3} x+490

The slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Thus, the slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 490.

2)

So, since we already know the y-intercept is 490, plot a point at (0,490).

The slope is too small to use. Thus, multiply the fraction by 100. It is now (-200/300). This means that we move <em>down</em> 200 for every 300 (recall that the slope means rise over run. Thus, we move down 200 for every 300 to the right). Thus, another possible point would be (0+300,490-200) or (300,290). Plot that. Then, connect them.

3)

To write in in function notation, simply substitute the y-variable for the function notation. Our independent variable here is x so we'll use that.

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+490\\ f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+490

This means that for every x sandwiches made, there is f(x) wraps made for the total sum to be $1,470.

For example, if 105 sandwiches were made, then f(105)=-2/3(105)+490=420 wraps were made for the total profit to be $1,470.

4)

Please refer to the attached graph.

5)

First, since the total profit has now increased, the graph above and to the right of the old graph. This is because Sal needs to sell more sandwiches and wraps. Likewise, because of this, the x- and y-intercepts will also be different. Nevertheless, if converted into the slope-intercept equation, the slope will remain the same.

Claire is painting some doors that are all the same size. She used 2 liters of paint to cobe 1 3/5 doors. How many liters of pai
Deffense [45]

Answer:

1 \dfrac{1}{4} \ liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Claire uses 2 liters of paint to cover 1 3/5 doors

Then in order for her to paint 1 door, She will need:

2 L = 1 3/5 door

x L = 1 door

x (L) = \dfrac{2 L \times 1 door }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5}   \ door}

x (L) = \dfrac{2 L  }{ 1 \dfrac{3}{5}  }

x (L) = \dfrac{2 L  }{  \dfrac{8}{5}  }

x (L) = \dfrac{2 L\times 5  }{  8  }

x (L) = \dfrac{10 \ L }{  8  }

x(L) =1 \dfrac{1}{4} \  L
