A soccer team has 12 girls and 18 boys. The team is split into groups that have the same ratio of girls to boys as that of the w
hole team. How many girls are in a group that has 12 boys?
1 answer:
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

1 mile = 1760 yd
=> 488 miles = 1760 yd × (488 miles)
it could be 858,880 yd
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 45 because 45-15=30, therefore x=45.
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.
