Answer:
36 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
3
Please write the ratio as 3:5 or as --------
5
Note that 3 + 5 = 8, so that the fraction of boys in the club is 3/8 and that of girls is 5/8.
How many are in the club altogether? Let this count be represented by c. Then (5/8)c = 60.
Multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5), to isolate c, we get:
c = (8/5)(60) = 96. Thus, there are 96 Science students altogether.
3/8 of this number are boys. This comes out to (3/8)(96) = 36 boys.
We could also solve this problem in the following manner:
3 b
------ = ------- , where b represents the number of boys.
5 60
Then 5b = 180. Dividing both sides by 5, we get b = 180/5 = 36 boys
Answer:
I do not see any diagrams. Though she had 32 apples before she ate any, 8 in each bag.
It would be 3.667 for 11/3 and for 5/6 it would be 0.8333333333

Answer:
a = 57.5
b = 90
c = 65
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of an inscribed angle is half that of the arc it intercepts. The angle at 'a' intercepts an arc of 115°, so its measure is (115/2)° = 57.5°
__
The inscribed angle at 'b' is a semicircle, 180°, so the measure of 'b' is (180/2)° = 90°.
__
The arc 'c' is the remainder of a semicircle after 115° have been taken away. Its measure is 180° -115° = 65°.
(a, b, c) = (57.5, 90, 65)
