Answer:

8 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a ratio problem.

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3

Since you know how many girls their are you plug it in

2:x

3:12

Basically you see how you get from 3 to 12 and the answer is to multiply by 4

Since it is a ratio problem you also multiply the 2 by 4

Your answer is 8 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If an urn contains two blue balls} (denoted \:B_1 \:and \:B_2) \text{and three white balls}$ , $(denoted \:W_1, W_2, \:and\: W_3)$

If One ball is drawn, its color is recorded, and it is replaced in the urn. Then another ball is drawn and its color is recorded.

Encuentra la velocidad promedio de un móvil que durante su recorrido hacia el Norte tuvo las siguientes velocidades.

yan [13]

The mean or average speed of a mobile moving north is: Vprom= 20.575 m/sec

The average speed of a series of given speed values is calculated by summing each of the speeds and then dividing by the number of speeds , as follows:

Speeds:

V1=18.5m/s

V2=22m/s

V3=20.3m/s

V4=21.5m/s

V avg =?

Average V = ( V1+V2+V3 +V4)/4

Vavg = (18.5m/s + 22m/s +20.3m/s + 21.5m/s)/4

Vavg = 20.575nm/sec
