Answer:
b = -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract the 1/2 over
-1/4b+1/2=5/6
5/6-1/2
To get a common denominator of 6, multipy 1/2 by 3
5/6-1/2(3)
5/6-3/6=2/6
-1/4b=2/6
Next, multiply by the reciprocal of -1/4, or -4
(-4)-1/4b=2/6(-4)
b=-4/3
March is 8 months away from August and the target amount is $600.
August = $50
September = $50 + (0.2*50)=$60
October = $60 + (0.2*60)=$72
November=$72+(0.2*72)=$86.4
December=$86.4 + (0.2*$86.4)=$103.68
January=$103.68+(0.2*103.68)= $124.416
February=$124.416+(0.2*124.416)=$149.3
March=$149.3 +(0.2*149.4)=$179.2
Total amount = $824.6
Yes, she will have money for the trip
11x+2 = 9x+6. Subtract 2 from both sides. 11x = 9x+6. subtract 9x from both sides. 2x = 4, divide both sides by 2. x = 2. Substitute the x with 2 and check to see it it works. The numbers should equal each other.
The answer is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .

The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: "2: 5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".

Explanation:

Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .
Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;
in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .
→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .
→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________
The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .

The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
