In 6th grade,there are 5 boys for every 4 girls. If there are 198 6th graders, how many boys are there?

2 answers:

8 0

We are given 5 boys for every four girls. We could set up an equation and solve for x.

5x+4x=198
9x=198
x=22
now plug in x = 22 back for 5x to find the total number of boys
5(22) =110 boys
we could also let x = 22 for 4x to find the total number of girls (even though we're not asked to do this)
4(22) = 88 girls

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the HCF of 36 and 90.

<u>Prime factors of each:</u>

36 = 2*2*3*3
90 = 2*3*3*5

<u>HCF includes all prime factors of both numbers:</u>

HCF(36, 90) = 2*2*3*3*5 = 180

Solve the following system of equations by the substitution method.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x=y+6 --------- equ 1

2x-3y=4 -------- equ 2

5x - 6 = y

y = 5x - 6

substitute in equ 2

2x-3(5x - 6) =4

2x - 3*5x + 3*6 = 4

2x - 15x + 18 = 4

- 13x = 4 - 18

-13x = -14

x = -14/-13

x = 14/13

substitute in equ 1

5*14/13 = y+6

70/13 - 6 = y

y = ( 70 - 78)/13

y = -8/13
