The 7th grade has 220 tudents. There are 3/5 girls. How many boys are there in 7th grade
Helga [31]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see - if there are 3/5 girls, there must be 2/5 boys. Assuming everyone in the class is binary, of course.

So 2/5 of 220 is the number of boys. When you see "of," always think multiplication!

2/5 of 220

2/5 * 220 = 88 boys in 7th grade

A living room will be painted with white trim. The ratio of the blue surface area between the walls is 1:10. Of 2 gallons of blu
bija089 [108]

Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The living room is made up of white trim and blue surface area between the walls. Since the ratio of the blue surface area between the walls to the white trim is given by 1 : 10.

Also 2 gallons of blue paints are used for the walls, let x represent the number of white paint used in gallons. Hence:

number of white paint in gallons = [1 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints

2 = 1/11  * total number of paints used

total number of paints  = 22 gallons

number of white paint (x) = [10 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints

x = 10/11 * 22

x = 20 gallons

Therefore 20 gallons of white paint was used

Why solids are important?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

I hope you find this helpful.
