Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Number of girls invited = x

Number of boys = x +20

3/4 of boy showed up

2/3 of girls showed up

Exactly 19 did not show up

Therefore, we could say:

Fraction of boys that didn't show up = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Fraction of girls that didn't show up = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

That is,

[1/4 *(x + 20)] + [1/3*x] = 19

[(x + 20) / 4] + x /3 = 19

(3(x + 20) + 4x) / 12 = 19

3x + 60 + 4x = 228

7x = 228 - 60

7x = 168

x = 168 / 7

x = 24

Number of girls, x = 24

Number of boys, x + 20 = 24 + 20 = 44

Total friends invited = (24 + 44) = 68

Is centroid and Circumcentre same?
makvit [3.9K]

No, the centroid and Circumcentre are not same but it is same in equilateral triangle.

The intersection of a triangle's perpendicular bisectors is called the circumcenter.A triangle's circumcenter is a location that is equally spaced from each of its vertices.The centroid of a triangle is the location where its medians connect.

Triangle's centroid is always within it. The centroid of a triangle is its center of gravity in physical terms. If the triangle is evenly distributed around the plane's surface and you want to balance it by supporting it at only one point, you must do it near the center of gravity.Are the circumcenter and centroid at the same location? In the case of an equilateral triangle, they will both be.

Therefore, the centroid and Circumcentre are not same but it is same in equilateral triangle.

phenytoin comes from the pharmacy as an IV solution of 1000mg/250ml. a loading dose of 700 mg has been ordered. how many millime
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

We can write the following proportion between the milligram and milliliters:

1000\div 250 = 700\div x

Solving for x, we have

x=\dfrac{250\cdot 700}{1000}=175

Intuitively, the original 1000mg/250ml solution tells us that the number of milliliters is one fourth of the number of milligrams.

So, if we want 700mg, we have one fourth of this value for the milliliters:

\dfrac{700}{4}=175
