Answer:
605 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
and there are 847 girls
we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:
5:7
= 5/7
= x/847
Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.
5 x
--- x ------
7 847
The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.
the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.
847 * 5 = 4,235
4,235 divided by 7 is 605
605 is your answer.
The cross method can be used in most situations.
* is used to represent multiplication btw
Answer:
0<x<1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)(x−4)<−12
FOIL
x^2 -4x+3x -12 <-12
x^2 -x -12 <-12
Add 12 to each side
x^2 -x -12+12 <-12+12
x^2 -x <0
Factor out an x
x(x-1) <0
Using the zero product property
x(x-1) =0
x=0 x-1=0
x=0 x=1
Check the ranges
x<0
x(x-1) <0
- * - >0
False
0<x<1
x(x-1) <0
+ * - <0
True
x>1
x(x-1) <0
+ * + >0
False
