Answer: 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The team is split into groups that have the same ratio as the whole team.

This means that every group must obey this ratio:

12 girls  :   18 boys

At the lowest form (dividing both sides by 6), the ratio is:

2    :    3

Every group must therefore be in a ratio of; 2 : 3.

In a team group that has 12 boys, the number of girls is:

2    :    3

x    :    12

3x = 24

x = 24 / 3

x = 8 girls

at maximum speed , an airplane travels 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours flying with the wind , the plane can travel the sa
Westkost [7]
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind

x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]

Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives

2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
