Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:
3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:
3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:
3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:
7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:
x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:
245-140= 105= boys
Answer:
The answer is 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes Rita 22.75 on average, and it take Erika 21.55 to walk the mile on average.
21.55 + 1.2 = 22.75
therefore, it takes Erika 1.2 minutes per mile less than Rita.
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
