Answer:

15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of students in the class

students * fraction of boys = boys

x * 4/5 = 12

Multiply each side by 5/4

x * 4/5 (5/4) = 12*5/4

x =15

There are 15 students

Answer:

15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Divide 12 by 4 because if 12 is 4/5, then to find 1/5 you have to divide 4/5 by 4 and 12 by 4

12/4=3

Step 2: Add 12+3 because 4/5+1/5=5/5

12+3=15

There are 15 students in the class, hope this helps!

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.If /(=) = 0.522 - 2 and g(a) = 853 + 2, find the value of the following funct

Alik [6]

In general,

$(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)$

Therefore, in our case,

$(f\cdot g)(x)=(0.5x{}^2-2)(8x^3+2)=4x^5-16x^3+x^2-4$ <h2>The answer is 4x^5-16x^3+x^2-4. Select 4, 16, 1, 4 (left to right)</h2>

What is the square root of 539?

Mama L [17]

You would use 539 and square it on you cal. just once. Then once you do that the answer is not going to be a whole number it is going to have a decimal, so the answer would be 23.22.

a storage room measures 20 feet by 15 feet. the floor is covered by tiles that cost $7.50 per square foot. what will be the cost

Sidana [21]

Answer: $2250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Dimension of the room = 20 feet × 15 feet

Cost of tiles = $7.50 / ft²

Derived formula from the given information

Total cost = Floor area × Cost of tiles

Substitute values into the formula

Total cost = Floor area × Cost of tiles

Total cost = (20 × 15) × (7.5)

Simplify by multiplication

Total cost = 300 × (7.5)

$\Large\boxed{Total~cost~=~2250~Dollars}$

Hope this helps!! :)
