If the ratio of boys to girls in the school band is 2 to 3, which of these show possible numbers

Mathematics

Andru [333]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply guess and check, meaning the boys category must be divisible by 2 and the girls category must be divisible by 3

A: 24 boys ÷ 2 = 12 (equals a whole number so it is divisible; not a decimal)

36 girls ÷ 3 = 12 (both of the boys and girls are divisible by their corresponding numbers)

Yes

Now make sure the boys are a lower count than the girls as the ratio says it should be 2 to 3, meaning there are more girls than boys

B: 20 ÷ 2 = 10 (divisible)

35 ÷ 3 = 11.666 (this is a decimal answer so it is not divisible)

No

C: 36 ÷ 2 = 18

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Yes, they are divisible

Now lets check if boys have a lower count than girls

36 boys > 24 girls

This is not the solution as it doesn't reflect the correct ratio of less boys than girls

D: 35 ÷ 2 = 17.5 (not divisible)

20 ÷ 3 = 6.66 (not divisible)

How do I solve for x if my equation is y = x - 3
Mama L [17]

Steps to solve:

y = x - 3

~Subtract x to both sides

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

~Simplify

y - x = -3

~Subtract y to both sides

y - y - x = -3 - y

~Simplify

-x = -3 - y

~Divide x by -1 to both sides

-x/-1 = -3/-1 + (-y/-1)

~Simplify

x = 3 + y or x = y + 3

Best of Luck!

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

She thought that 24 movies out of 60 were very good. Put the smaller number over the larger number to create a fraction:

Then convert 24/60 to a proper fraction:

24/60 = 2/5

Then, convert that to percent:

2/5 = 40%

(PLEASE HURRY I NEED IT TODAY)
slega [8]

Answer:

1) Reflection in the x-axis

A' = (-2, -3)

2) Rotation of 180° clockwise about the origin

A'' = (2, 3)

3) Translation of 3 units down and 4 units to the right

A''' = (6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformations are as follows;

1) Reflection in the x-axis

Here the x-coordinate is the same and the y-coordinate changes sign.

Therefore, we have;

A (-2, 3)

After reflection in the x-axis becomes A' = (-2, -3)

2) Rotation of 180° clockwise about the origin

When, a point (x, y) is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin, it becomes (-x, -y)

Therefore, we have;

A' = (-2, -3) becomes A'' = (2, 3)

3) Translation of 3 units down and 4 units to the right

Translation of 3 units down and 4 units to the right = T_{(4, -3)

Which gives

A''' = (2 + 4, 3 - 3) = (6, 0).
