Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 25 because if the ratio is 4:5 and there are 20 girls that means they multiplied 4 times 5 to get 20 and that means you have to do the same to the ratio of boy and when you multiply 5 times 5 you get 25

Answer:

Let x and y be the no. of boys and girls in the class.

Then,

x/y = 4/5

=> 20/y = 4/5 [Given that x = no. of boys = 20]

=> 4y = 20×5

=> 4y = 100

=> y = 100/4

=> y = 25

Therefore the no. of girls in the class is 25

3. If Earth was 10 times farther away from the sun than it is now, which planet would it be closest to? (Assume all the planets

Soloha48 [4]

The earth is 93 million miles away from the sun. 93 million times 10 is 930,000,000 away. Mars is currently 141.6 million miles from the sun. Assuming the planets were in a straight line you would subtract from 141.6 million miles the 93 million miles so that would put us within 48,600,000 miles of Mars. So the answer is we would be closest to Mars.

Answer: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the line y = -2x + 1 (which is in y = mx + b format) by plotting the y-intercept (b = 1) on the y-axis and then using the slope (m = -2) to plot the second point by going down 2 and right 1 unit from the first point:

y - intercept = (0, 1) 2nd point = ( -1, 1).

Graph the parabola y = x² - 2x - 3 by first plotting the vertex and then plotting the y-intercept (or some other point):

$y = x^2-2x-3\quad \rightarrow \quad a=1,\ b=-2,\ c=-3\\\\\text{axis of symmetry:}\ x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}\ \longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{-(-2)}{2(1)}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{y-value of vertex:}\ f(1) = (1)^2-2(1)-3\quad \longrightarrow \quad y = 1 - 2 - 3=-4\\\\\text{y-intercept:}\ f(0)= (0)^2-2(0)-3\ \longrightarrow \ y=0 - 0 - 3 = -3 \\$

vertex = (1, -4) 2nd point (y-intercept) = (0, -3)

see attached - the graphs intersect at two points: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)

How do you solve this? Matt had some candy to give to his four children. He first took two pieces for himself and then evenly di

Rasek [7]

You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = 18 pieces.
