Answer: The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- <em>Number of boys added: 18
</em>
- <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4
</em>
So, the total number of boys is:
x + 18
Number of girls = y
Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4
(x+18) /y = 5/4
Solving for "y"
4 (x +18) =5 y
4x +72 = 5y
(4x +72) /5 = y
The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5
Answer:
I got 37.5 as my answer
Step-by-step explanation:
create your proportions by making the fractions 16/20=30/x (you can use this shortcut because the lines are parallel)
then cross multiply to get 16x=600
divide by 16 and x=37.5
a) if the two gloves someone receives might both be for the left hand or right hand.
b) if each sister gets one left and one right.
Soln:
a) So i thought about dissectng the problem first into finding the number of ways in which I could make pairs of gloves:
C(12, 2)
then I asked how many ways could the sets of gloves be assigned amongst the 6 sisters:
<span><span>6!</span><span>6!</span></span>
and taking the product of this would give me the amount of ways this could occur:
= C(12,2) * 6!
then for part b)
using this same idea except:
C(6,1) C(6,1) for the left and right glove each .
the C(6,1)*C(6,1)*6!
Right way to think them through?
The answer is b because all you have to do is just subtract if I am wrong so sorry
