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

I think of a number double it add 15 my number is 21 what number was i thinking about
AleksandrR [38]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

3

Discussion:

Let the number be "n",

2n + 15  = 21          =>  subtract 15 from both sides

2n = 21 - 15 = 6     =>   divide both sides by 2

n = 6/2 = 3

Check: Start with 3. Double it (gives 6), add 15 to it ( 6 + 15)  which gives 21/

Thank you,

MrB

Ming wrote the table of points below.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Ming has described a proportional relationship because the ordered pairs are linear and the line passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - y

5 - 10

10 - 20

15 - 30

Required

Determine if the data are proportional

The dataset is small; so, we can derive the relationship by observation.

By observing the x and y values, the relationship is:

y = 2x --- i.e. multiply x values by 2.

This is further proven by:

y = 2 * 5 = 10

y = 2 * 10 = 20

y = 2 * 15 = 30

y = 2 * 0 = 0 --- the origin

Hence, the dataset is proportional and it passes through the origin.

5. A hummingbird feeder holds 2/3 of a cup of hummingbird solution. A bottle of solution will fill the feeder 8 times. How much
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.26 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a hummingbird feeder holds \frac{2}{3} of a cup of hummingbird solution.

Again, a bottle of solution will fill the feeder 8 times.

Therefore, a bottle of solution will measure (\frac{2}{3}\times 8) = \frac{16}{3} = 5.33 cups of hummingbird solution.

Now, one cup is equivalent to 0.236588 liters.

So, 5.33 cups is equal to (0.236588 × 5.33) = 1.26 liters. (Answer)
