Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the males = x
Let the females = 8x
Let the total in the class = x + 8x = 9x
Females = 8x / 9x = 8/9
If you want the decimal, it is .889
Answer: it might be 4 because 5x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following equation:
Let 
We have:
By definition, given an equation of the form 
The quadratic formula, to find the solution can be written as:
In this case we have:
Substituting in the quadratic formula we have:

Answer:
Option B
Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>
