Answer:

350 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.

600/12 = a

Simplify

50/1 = a

50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.

50(5) = b

250 = boys

50(7) = x

350 = x

There are 350 girls.

Answer:

(D) 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint.

Theorem(Inscribed Angles Conjecture I): In a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc.

By the theorem above and from the attached diagram,

Inscribed Angle p =Half of 60 degrees

$\angle p=0.5 X 60^\circ\\p=30^\circ$

The correct option is D.
