Answer:

B) 1/2 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Lawrence bought 2/3 pound of roast beef.

He used 3/4 of it to make a sandwich.

The amount of beef that he used for his sandwich is calculated as:

3/4 of 2/3 pounds of roast beef

3/4 × 2/3

= 6/12 pound

= 1/2 pound

Option B is the correct Option.

Two different sized triangles have a scale factor of 2:3. If the hypotenuse ( the longest side ) of the bigger triangle measures
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.

Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.

24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle

charle [14.2K]

Relax.  Take deep breaths.  Feel the fresh air flowing down to your toes.
It's only some lame math.  It can't scare you, because you have a brain
and you know how to use it.

You need to find the Patriots' score.  You don't know what it is yet, so
let's give it a label.    I've got a brilliant idea !  Let's call it 'P' !

What do we know ?

We know that the Patriots won the game, so we know that the Giants'
score was less than 'P'.

How much less was it ?  The question tells us that the difference in
their scores was 20.  So the Giants scored  P-20  in the game.

What else do we know ?  The question tells us the sum of the scores.
OK.  Let's addum up:

Patriots' score:    P
Giants' score:      P - 20

Sum of the scores:  P + (P - 20)  =  2P - 20

The question tells us that their sum was 44.

OK.                         2P - 20  =  44

That's an equation.  Solve it for 'P' and you'll have the answer.

Add  20  to each side:    2P  =  64

Divide each side by  2:    P = 32

There you are.  The Patriots scored 32. 
The Giants scored 20 less ... (32 - 20) = 12.
The sum of their scores was (32 + 12) = 44.
Everything checks out.

The number of students in a class is 60. The number of boys is seven-fifths the number of girls. Find the number of boys in the
Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls = x

Therefore, no. of boys = \frac{7}{5} \times x

\because \: no \: of \:  boys + no \: of \: girls \:  = 60 \\  \\  \therefore \:  \frac{7}{5} x + x = 60 \\  \\ \therefore \:  \frac{7x + 5x}{5} = 60 \\  \\  \therefore \:  \frac{12x}{5} = 60 \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 60 \times  \frac{5}{12}  \\  \\ \therefore \: x = 5 \times 5 \\  \\ \therefore \: x = 25  \\  \\  \therefore \:  \frac{7}{5} x =  \frac{7}{5}  \times 25 = 7 \times 5 = 35 \\

Thus, no of boys in the class is 35.
