Answer:

320 / 240 = 4 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4 / 7 = x / 560

 

Cross-multiply:

 

7x = 2240

 

Divide by 7:

 

x = 320

 

The school has 320 boys and 240 girls.

hope this helps

Answer:

320 : 240

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 3 = 7

560 / 7 = 80

so 1 is 80

4 x 80 : 3 x 80

320 : 240

4. find the real number roots. sqrt-0.25
e-lub [12.9K]

Given is square root of a negative real number, i.e. \sqrt{-0.25}

When we find square root of positive real numbers, we get Real answers.

But when we find square root of negative real numbers, we get Imaginary answers. To solve them, we can split the given negative number into product of -1 and the number itself but with positive sign. e.g. -4 = -1 x 4.

For square root of -1, we use english letter 'i' called Imaginary unit i.e. \sqrt{-1} = i

Now we can use -0.25 = -1 x 0.25

\sqrt{-0.25} =\sqrt{-1*0.25} \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =\sqrt{-1}*\sqrt{0.25} \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =i*0.5 \\\\ \sqrt{-0.25} =0.5i

Hence, "0.5i" is the final answer.

The mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at 100.7100.7â°f is 2323 days. suppose that the incubation times are
Irina18 [472]
In this item, we have the mean incubation period of 23 days and the standard deviation is 22 days. We use z-score to determine the unknown in each of the items.

(a) less than 21 days.
       z-score = (23 - 21) / 22 = 1/11
This translates to a percentage of 53.6%

(b) z-score for 19 days.
     z-score = (23 - 19) / 22 = 2/11
This translates to a percentage of 57.2%.
   
    z-score for 23 days.
   z-score = (23 - 23)/ 22 = 0
This translates to a percentage of 50%.

The difference between the two numbers is only 7.2%

(c) z-score of 25.
     z-score = (23 - 25)/ 22 = -1/11
This translates to a percentage of 42.3%.

Then, subtract this value from 100 to give us the final answer of 57.2%.

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 large boxes

3 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations to represent the problem.

let "a" be the number of small boxes

let "b" be the number of large boxes

20a + 40b = 260    This equation shows the numbers of books

a + b = 8                  This equations shows the number of boxes

Solve the system of equations (solve for a and b). We can solve using the substitution method.

Rearrange a + b = 8 to isolate one of the variables.

a = 8 - b    New equation that represents "a"

Since we know an equation for "a", we can substitute what "a" equals into the other equation. There will only be one variable in the equation, so we can solve by isolating. Isolate by doing reverse operations.

Substitute "a" for 8 - b

20a + 40b = 260

20(8 - b) + 40b = 260     Distribute 20 over the brackets by multiplying

160 - 20b + 40b = 260    Collect like terms (numbers with same variables)

160 + 20b = 260    Start isolating "b". Subtract 160 from both sides

20b = 260 - 160

20b = 100    Divide both sides by 20

b = 5    Number of large boxes

Substitute "b" for 5 in the simplest equation

a + b = 8

a + 5 = 8      Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate "a"

a = 8 - 5    

a = 3      Number of small boxes

Therefore there were 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes sent.
