The ratio of boys to girl in a school is 5:7 if there are 600 students, how many girls are there

Mathematics
1 answer:
larisa86 [58]2 years ago
3 0

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.

PLEASE HELPPPP ! 16^x=64^x+4
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Set logs up on both sides-

log 16^x = log 64^x+4

The variable goes behind because of the exponent log <em>property</em> (exponents are permitted to go behind the log to multiply)-

x * log 16 = x + 4 * log 64

Divide both logs out-

log 64/log 16 = 1.5

Simplify-

x = x+4(1.5)

1.5x + 6 = x

Remove 1.5-

1 - 1.5 = -.5x

Simplify-

-.5x = 6

Divide both sides-

6/-.5x = -12

Hence, the answer would be -12

The number sentence 4x6=6x4 is an example of the what property
monitta

Answer:

commutative property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the product of the given equation remain the same while the order is reversed

The number sequence 4 × 6 = 6 × 4 is an example of the commutative property of multiplication

Reason:

The given number sentence is 4 × 6 = 6 × 4

Required: The property the number sentence is an example of (represent)

Solution:

The difference between the left and right expression is that the order of the

values being multiplied is changed or reversed (commute)

Therefore, the number sentence states that the value of the multiplication

of two variables remain equal when the places of variables are

interchanged as follows; a × b = b × a

a × b = b × a is an example of commutative property of multiplication

Therefore;

4 × 6 = 6 × 4 is an example of the commutative property of multiplication

An orange has 20 fewer calories
Andreyy89

Answer:

90 calories in a banana.

Step-by-step explanation:

O = B - 20     where  O is the number calories in an orange and B is a that in  banana.

Also 7B = 9O

From the above   O = 7B / 9 so substituting in the first equation:

7B / 9 = B - 20

7B = 9B - 180

2B = 180

B = 90.
