Answer:

Fraction of the scouts are square dancing is \frac{19}{30}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pair  is one Girl Scout and one Boy Scout.

So,  to  the final fraction ( of the pairs) we are going to get 1/2 from the fraction of girls and 1/2 from the fraction of boys.  

Girls= \frac{2}{3} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{6}

Boys= \frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{10}

To get the fraction of the scouts that are square dancing,  we have to add the fraction of girls ,  with the fraction of boys.  

=\frac{2}{6} +\frac{3}{10}

=\frac{(2*10) +(6*3)}{6*10} =\\ \frac{20+18}{60}

=\frac{38}{60}

=\frac{19}{30}

This means that  from 30 scouts ,  19 are dancing.

Sati [7]

Answer:

.

Explaining:

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. Three common trigonometric ratios are the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These are defined for acute angle.

In these definitions, the terms opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse refer to the lengths of the sides.

X + 3y = −4 x + 5y = −6
lesya [120]

For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

x + 3y = -4\\x + 5y = -6

We clear x of both equations:

x = -4-3y\\x = -6-5y

We match:

-4-3y = -6-5y\\-3y + 5y = -6 + 4\\2y = -2\\y = \frac {-2} {2}\\y = -1

We find the value of "x":

x = -4-3 (-1)\\x = -4 + 3\\x = -1

Thus, the solution of the system is:

(x, y): (- 1, -1)

Answer:

(x, y): (- 1, -1)

Rugs sell for 8$ per square foot. Beth bought a 9-foot-long rectangular rug for $432. How wide was the rug?
lawyer [7]
If you know the rugs sell for 8$ per square foot and the total spend was $432. You divide 432 by 8 to find the total number of square foot of the rug. Which is 54. To find total square foot you find the area. So the area of a rectangle is L*W. So 54 = 9*width. So just divide 54 by 9 and you get the width of the rug. The width is 6 foot. Now you check. A nine by 6 rugs square foot is 54. and then times by 8 and you get 432 total. So you know the rug is 6 foot wide. :)
