Answer:

25% of the students are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Ratios, Percents, Fractions</u>

1) There are 6 girls and 18 boys in the class --> This means that there are 6+18 or 24 people in the class total.

2) 6 of the 24 people are girls. So as a fraction --> 6/24 is the number of girls over the total number of people.

3) This can be simplified as 1/4 --> Divide 1 by 4 --> And this is 0.25

4) Multiply this by a 100 to get a percent form --> 25%

PLEASE HELP ASAP. I need help with this problem, I've gotten two answers: 60 and 90 but I can't figure out which one it is. Plea
omeli [17]

Find the ratio of the known sides.

6/4 = 1.5

The larger triangle is 1.5 times larger than the smaller one.

Area is in square units, so to find the area of the larger triangle square the ratio and multiply that by the area of the known triangle.

1.5^2 x 40 = 90 square cm.
