16:30
16/30
16 to 30
is the ratio of girls to the classmembers
Hope this helps!
I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.
first, make an equation with the given information
2x-3=30
Then, add three to both sides
2x=33
Finally, divide both sides by 2
x= 16.5
x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.
2(16.5)-3= 30

Answer: 40</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
JQ is longer than QN. We can see this visually, but the rule for something like this is the segment from the vertex to the centroid is longer compared to the segment that spans from the centroid to the midpoint.
See the diagram below.
The ratio of these two lengths is 2:1, meaning that JQ is twice as long compared to QN. This is one property of the segments that form when we construct the centroid (recall that the centroid is the intersection of the medians)
We know that JN = 60
Let x = JQ and y = QN
The ratio of x to y is x/y and this is 2/1
x/y = 2/1
1*x = y*2
x = 2y
Now use the segment addition postulate
JQ + QN = JN
x + y = 60
2y + y = 60
3y = 60
y = 60/3
y = 20
QN = 20
JQ = 2*y = 2*QN = 2*20 = 40
--------------
We have
JQ = 40 and QN = 20
We see that JQ is twice as larger as QN and that JQ + QN is equal to 60.
