9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the given ratio, we can find the ratio of boys to the total.

boys : (boys +girls) = 7 : (7+8) = 7 : 15

Then the number of boys is ...

(7/15)(45) = 21

There are 21 boys in the classroom.

95% of what number is 19?

Setler79 [48]

95% of 20 is 19

Convert your percentage into a decimal:
$\frac{95}{100} = 0.95$

Divide 19 by your decimal:
$19 \div 0.95 = 20$

Jada has a stand in the marketplace where she sells ground cumin. Her weekly expenses are $300, and she sells her cumin at a fix

Scrat [10]

P = R - E
600 = 120x - 300
The value of x from the equation is 7.5. The answer therefore for the first question is $7.5. Then, the number of kilogram of cumin she needs to sell to cover the expenses is $300/$7.5 and that is equal to 40.

Use the grouping method to factor x³ + x² + 3x+3.

Annette [7]

Answer:

D. $(x + 1)(x^2 + 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can group the first two terms and the last two terms.

<h3>Factor by Grouping</h3>

$x^2 + x^2 + 3x + 3$
$x^2(x + 1) + 3(x + 1)$
$(x^2 + 3)(x + 1)$

Factoring by grouping is the process of breaking down larger polynomials to smaller ones to factor. We can then combine like factors.

In the second step, we can see that we can rewrite $x^3 + x^2$ as $x^2(x + 1)$ , as both the two terms share a common factor of $x^2$ . We can pull out $x^2$ from that expression. Similarly, $3x$ and $3$ share a common factor of $3$ , so we can pull that out.
