Salutations!
<span>The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:4. if there are 180 students, how many girls are there?
Let the number of girls and boys be 'x'.
</span>

<span>
Add 5 and 4
</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>
Now, multiply the ratios by 20.
Boys =
20 </span>× 5 = 100
Girls = 20 × 4 = 80.
There were 80 girls.
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
Answer:
24 cubic inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of one cube = s * s * s or s^3
s = 2 inches
V = s^3
V = 2 * 2 * 2 or 2^3
V = 8 cubic inches.
The volume of 3 of them is 8*3 = 24 cubic inches.
To solve this problem, you have to know these two special factorizations:

Knowing these tells us that if we want to rationalize the numerator. we want to use the top equation to our advantage. Let:
![\sqrt[3]{x+h}=x\\ \sqrt[3]{x}=y](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%2Bh%7D%3Dx%5C%5C%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%3Dy%20)
That tells us that we have:

So, since we have one part of the special factorization, we need to multiply the top and the bottom by the other part, so:

So, we have:
![\frac{x+h-h}{h(\sqrt[3]{(x+h)^2}+\sqrt[3]{(x+h)(x)}+\sqrt[3]{x^2})}=\\ \frac{x}{\sqrt[3]{(x+h)^2}+\sqrt[3]{(x+h)(x)}+\sqrt[3]{x^2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%2Bh-h%7D%7Bh%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%5E2%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%28x%29%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%29%7D%3D%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%5E2%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%28x%2Bh%29%28x%29%7D%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%7D%20)
That is our rational expression with a rationalized numerator.
Also, you could just mutiply by:
![\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x_h}-\sqrt[3]{x}} \text{ to get}\\ \frac{1}{h\sqrt[3]{x+h}-h\sqrt[3]{h}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx_h%7D-%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%7D%20%5Ctext%7B%20to%20get%7D%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bh%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%2Bh%7D-h%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bh%7D%7D%20)
Either way, our expression is rationalized.
27x - 144 + 15 = 6x - 24
27x - 129 = 6x - 24
+129 +129
--------- --------
0 105
27x = 6x + 105
-6x -6x
----- ------
21x 0
21x = 105
21x/21 = 105/21
x = 5
