Answer:

there are 18 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

for every 2 boys there are 3 girls

so then you can say 2/5 of the class are boys and 3/5 are girls

and you have to calculate 3/5 of 30 so you have to divide 5 and then multiply by 3 so 30 divided by 5 is 6 the n multiply 6 by 3 and the answer is 18.

Hope this helps

The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature A certain gas has a volume of 10 liters

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Joint variation states that:

If z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y,

i.e, $z \propto x$ , $z \propto \frac{1}{y}$

then the equation is in the form: $z = k\frac{x}{y}$ where k is the constant of variation.

From the given information: The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature

i.,e $V \propto T$ , $V \propto \frac{1}{P}$

by definition of joint variation:

$V = k\frac{T}{P}$ .....[1] where k is the constant of variation.

It is also given that a certain gas has a volume of 10 liters(L) , a temperature of 300 kelvins(K), and a pressure of 1.5 atmosphere(atm).

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for k;

$10 = k\frac{300}{1.5}$

Simplify:

$10 = 200k$

Divide by 200 both sides we have;

$k = \frac{10}{200} =\frac{1}{20}$

Now, if a gas has a temperature of 400 kelvins and a pressure of 5 atm.

To find the volume (V);

Now substitute the given data and value of k in [1] we have;

$V = \frac{1}{20} \cdot \frac{400}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

Therefore, the Volume of a gas is, 4 liters

How can you represent and summarize data in a dot plot?

krek1111 [17]

In a dot plot, each one of the dots represents a value in the data set. When there are multiple values at a particular number, the dots just get stacked on top of each other. Using the dots in the plot, you can find the mean, median, mode or any other statistic that you need to summarize the data.
