If there 8 boys for every 7 girls with 195 total, how many are boys?
Lilit [14]
B = boys   g = girls
.................................

b + g = 195        b = 195 - g

<u>b</u> = <u>8</u>
g    7

Substitute b for 195 - g in the 2nd equation:

<u>b</u> = <u>8</u>
g    7

<u>195 - g</u> = <u>8</u>
    g        7

Cross Multiply

8g = 7 . ( 195 - g )
8g = 1365 - 7g
8g + 7g = 1365
15g = 1365
g = <u>1365</u>
        15
g = 91

Substitute g for 91 in one of the equations:

b + g = 195
b + 91 = 195
b = 195 - 91
b = 104


S = 104 boys.

How do I solve this, pretty urgent please. ​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

  • 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Substitute:</u>

  • x^{0.5} = y

<u>Then the expression becomes:</u>

  • (\dfrac{1+y^3}{1-y+y^2}-y) \dfrac{1-y^2}{1-y}  -y=\\
  • (\dfrac{(1+y)(1-y+y^2)}{1-y+y^2}-y) \dfrac{(1-y)(1+y)}{1-y}  -y=
  • (1+y-y)(1+y)-y=
  • 1(1+y)-y=
  • 1+y-y=
  • 1

The result is 1 regardless the value of x other than 1.

A dart hits the board. What is the probability
Elena L [17]

Answer: The probability is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability will be equal to the quotient between the area of region II, and the total area of the board (supposing that the probability of hitting in any place is equal)

The total area of the figure is equal to

Area = (15' + 35')*(8' + 20') = 50'*28' = 1400 in^2

Now, the area of region II is:

Region II = 20'*35' = 700

Then the probability is:

P = 700/1400 = 1/2 = 0.5
