{Hello,\;There!}

They already give you the number of boys {14}, so all you need to do is subtract 30 - 14 which will give you the ratio of girls.

It does this because 14 takes up \frac{14}{30} of the seventh grade class.

\text{30 - 14 = 16}

  So your answer is going to be 14:16 un-simplified.

  However, since they ask you to put it in the simplest terms, we are going to simplify \frac{14}{16}.

  You can do this by dividing both numbers by 2.

=  \frac{14 \div 2}{16 \div 2}=\frac{7}{8}

\bold{So\;your\;answer\;is\;going\;to\;be}

= \frac{7}{8} or \text{7:8}

\rule{300}{1.0}

If the tip varies directly with the number of guest,which equation represents the relationshipbbetween the tip,t,and the number
sergejj [24]
<span>If the tip, t, varies directly with the number of guests, g, then it means that any change in tip there is a corresponding change in the number of guests. When the tip increases the number of guests increases as well. Therefore,

t </span>α g

To change the it to equal sign, we incorporate a proportionality constant, k.

t =<span> kg
</span>
This equation will represent the relation of t to g.
