Answer:90

Step-by-step explanation:Hi.

Here is your answer---

Let the number of Students in a school be x.

Thus,Number of Girls = 3/7 of the total Students

= 3/7 of x

= 3x/7

We know,

Number of Boys + Number of Girls = Total Students.

64 + 3x/7 = x

64 = x - 3x/7

64 = (7x - 3x) /7 [Taking L.C.M.]

64 × 7 = 4x

x = 60 × 7

x = 420

Total number of Students in a school is 420.

Thus, Number of Girls = 3/7 × x

= 3/7 × 420

= 90

Thus, the number of Girls in a school is 90.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture below is what you are referring to .

The whole area of the shape forms a rectangle. A triangle and a  rectangle has been cut off from the whole carpet rectangle. The square ft or area of the carpet is the subtraction of the area of the rectangle and triangle cut off from the whole area of the rectangle .

Area of the rectangle = Lb

where

L = 12 ft

b =  5 ft

area = 12 × 5  = 60 ft²

The cut off triangle area

area = 1/2 × base × height

area = 1/2 × 4 × 3

area = 12/2 = 6 ft²

The cut off rectangle area

area = Lb

area = 3 × 2

area = 6 ft²

The area of the outdoor carpet = 60 - 6 - 6 = 48 ft²
