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 combined weight of all the kittens? Weight of kittens: 1/4 pound: 3 kittens. 3/8 pound: 2 kittens. 1/2 pound: 4 kitt
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 times 3 = 3/4

3/8 times 2: 6/8 = 3/4

1/2 times 4: 4/2 = 2

5/8 times 4: 20/8 = 2 1/2

3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 = 1 1/2

2 + 2 1/2 + 1 1/2 = 6 pounds

LOTS OF POINTS!!! HELP WITH 7 ANd EXPLAIN!!

Answer:

w=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is SA= 2lw+2lh+2hw

We are trying to find out the width if the SA is 240 square inches, length is 12 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Let's plug these numbers into the equation.

240=(2*12*w)+(2*12*5)+(2*5*w)

          24w+120+10w

240= 34w+120

-120           -120

120= 34w

120/34 = 34w/34

w is approximately equal to 3.5 which can be rounded to 4

w=4

Hope this is right! It was confusing at first but I understood it!
