Think of the entire population of 6th graders here. 3/7 are boys and 4/7 are girls. 5/8 of these boys are in Ms. Jones' class; that fraction would be (5/8)(3/7), or 15/56. This 15/56 represents the fraction of the entire sixth grade class who are in Ms. Jones' class.

Answer:   \dfrac{15}{56} of the entire six grade are the boys in Ms. Jones' class.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in six grade class, \dfrac{3}{7} of the students are boys and \dfrac{5}{8} of these boys are in Ms. Jones' class.

We are to find the fraction of the entire class that are boys in Ms. Jones' class.

Let total number of students in six grade class be n.

Then, the number of boys in the six grade class will be

n_s=\dfrac{3}{7}x=\dfrac{3x}{7}.

Therefore, the number of boys in s. Jones' class is given by

n_J=\dfrac{5}{8}\imes n_s=\dfrac{5}{8}\times\dfrac{3x}{7}=\dfrac{15}{56}x.

Thus, \dfrac{15}{56} of the entire six grade are the boys in Ms. Jones' class.

Answer: 65000$ worth of things

This is edited, because I got it backwards last time.

We need to make 2500, but she only makes 4% of whatever she sells.

That means the equation is

2500 = 0.04x

Now, we just need to divide both sides by 0.04 and we get 65000.

Sorry for the confusion.

Visitors to a cinematic are either children, adults or pensioners. Ratio of children to adult visitors is 1:2 Ratio of adults to
VMariaS [17]

Ratio of children, adults and pensioners is 1 : 2 : 8/3 = 3 : 6 : 8.

Let, 3x is number of children.

So, 6x is number of adults and 8x is number of pensioners.

Now,

3x + 6x + 8x = 85

17x = 85

x = 5

Therefore, number of pensioners are 8×5 = 40.

Hence, this is the required solution.
