Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, 1.5) and (0.5, 0.5)
Step2247 [10]

The slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have:

(-1,\ 1.5)\to x_1=-1,\ y_1=1.5\\(0.5,\ 0.5)\to x_2=0.5,\ y_2=0.5

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{0.5-1.5}{0.5-(-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{1.5}=-\dfrac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-1))\\\\y-1.5=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-\dfrac{3}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ |+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{2\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\dfrac{3\cdot3}{2\cdot3}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{4}{6}+\dfrac{9}{6}\\\\y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{6}

BigorU [14]
You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
     1        :  sqrt(3)  :        2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20

blocked

Let 00 to 72 = a shot that is saved. Which digits represent a goal scored? Explain.

Write your answer in the space below.

The answer is 73 to 99

2. Each group represents the 5 shots taken by the other team. To win the game, the Ice blades cannot let the other team score any goals.

For a group to be a success, how many of the 5 shots does the goalie need to save?

Write your answer in the space below.

The answer to the question Is all 5.

3. Group 1 is a success. Explain why.

Write your answer in the space below.

Group 1 is a success because none of the numbers 73 and 99 show up.

4. In this simulation, which groups are successes? How many successes are there in the 10 groups?

Write your answer in the space below.

1,3,10

There are 3.
