Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, kids are divided into 8 total parts.

7 - 1 = 6 more parts that are boys. The 48 extra boys are those 6 parts.

48/6 = 8 boys per part

All parts have the equal number of kids, so one part girls also has 8.

There are 8 girls (and 56 boys. 8:56 = 1:7).

If one half of an integer is added to one fifth of the next consecutive integer, the sum is 10. Find the integers.
Ivahew [28]
Let 1st integer be x and next consecutive be x+1
1/2•x + 1/5•(x+1) = 10
x/2 + x/5 + 1/5 = 10
-1/5 -1/5
x/2 + x/5 = 49/5
(x/2)•5/5 + (x/5)•2/2 = 49/5
5x/10 + 2x/10 = 49/5
7x/10 = 49/5
•10 •10
7x = 98
÷7 ÷7
x = 14 --> 1st integer
x+1 = 14+1 = 15 --> next consecutive integer

Rama09 [41]
Because everyone he surveyed was on the football team, the sample population all have that in common, and so this sample is not a random one.  I don't remember the name of this particular type of sample.  You'd benefit from summarizing your textbook explanations of different types of samples and making sure that you can easily give an example of each and every one of them.
