12 girls out of 19, how many out of 76
12 - x
19 - 76
Cross product:
19x= 1152
/19. /19
x= ~61
There are (around) 61 girls
Answer:
(-1/4, 19/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+6=9x+7
-4x=1
x= -1/4
y=5(-1/4) +6
y=19/4
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the value of x varies directly as the value of y we can say they are directly proportional. This implies that when y increases x will increase too, and when y decreases x will also decrease.
If x=16 when y=3/4 we can write their relation as:
x/y = 16/(3/4) = 16*(4/3) = 64/3
So, for every value of y, the ratio x/y must maintain equal to 64/3 because both values are proportional.
Now we can see what happens to x when y varies. If y=3/8:
x/(3/8) = 64/3
Multiply both sides by 3/8 to eliminate the 3/8 in the denominator.
x/(3/8) * (3/8) = (64/3) * (3/8)
See that we have a 3 multiplying and another dividing, we can eliminate them.
x = 64/8
x = 8
So, if y decreases to 3/8 x will decrease to 8. Notice that y is decreasing in a half as 3/8 is the half of 3/4, and x is also decreasing in a half from 16 to 8, what makes sense.
