1/3 oranges were spoiled.....u threw away 4 oranges...
1/3 of what = 4....
1/3x = 4
x = 4 * 3
x = 12 oranges
1/4 grapefruits were spoiled....u threw away 7
1/4 of what = 7
1/4x = 7
x = 7 * 4
x = 28
so ur fruit basket contained 12 oranges and 28 grapefruits before u discarded the spoiled ones
The arrow should be pointing to the negatives
Answer:
In the classroom there are 16 girls and 20 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
In the ninth grade, 62.5% of girls and 80% of boys passed the mathematics course, while 87.5% of girls and 60% of boys passed the history course. Calculate the number of students in the classroom, if the total number of passes is 26 in both subjects
Let
x ----> total girls in the classroom
y ---> total boys in the classroom
we know that
mathematics course
-----> equation A
history course
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (16,20)
see the attached figure
therefore
In the classroom there are 16 girls and 20 boys
