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

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)

<u>Answer</u>

48


<u>Explanation</u>

The product of the secant and the extension of the chord is normally equivalent to square of the tangent.

From the diagram given,

The length of the secant = 2+6

                                          = 8

Length of the extension of the chord = 6

length of the tangent = x

∴ x² = 8 × 6

      = 48

If U = the set of odd natural numbers and B = {13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, . . .}, find B′.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

{1,3,5,7,9,11}

Step-by-step explanation:

B' stands for the complement of B.

B' means set elements in the universe that aren't in B.

Here is the universe:

U={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,...}

(The dots mean it continues with that pattern forever and ever.)

And the elements we taking out:

B={13,15,17,19,21,23,...}

So we taking out the odd numbers from U that are odd and greater than or equal to 13. (The dots mean it continues with that pattern forever and ever.)

So B' is the set of natural odd numbers that are less than 13:

{1,3,5,7,9,11}

Some carpet cleaning costs are 1 room for $125, 2 rooms for $175, 3 rooms for $225. and 4 rooms for $275.00.Find and interpret t
Free_Kalibri [48]
First calculate the hourly rate, which is the difference of cleaning 2 and 1 rooms:
175-125=50

then calculate the initial value by subtracting the hourly rate from the "1 room" cost:
125-50=75

The initial cost might be something like driving to the place (which is only necessary once), while the rate covers work time or cleaning utensils used.
