Answer:
Females = 17 and males = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total no of students in the class = 40
Let no. of females = x
No. of males = 6+x
ATQ,
Total students = males + females
40 = x+6+x
40-6 = 2x
34 = 2x
x = 17
Hence, there are 17 females and (6+17= 23) males.
The sum of two numbers:
x + y = 108
The difference of the same two numbers:
x - y = 78
We can use substitution to figure out x and y:
x - y = 78 can be changed to x = 78 + y
We can plug this into the first equation:
78 + y + y = 108
78 + 2y = 108
2y = 30
y = 15
Now solve for x using any of the two equations. I'll use the first equation since it's easier:
x + 15 = 108
x = 93

Answer:
11 1/3 minutes per mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 miles jogged in 8 1/2 minutes.
So 1 mile jogged in: 8 1/2 divided by 3/4 = 8 1/2 x 4/3 = (17 x 4) / (2 x 3) = 11 1/3 minutes per mile
