The ratio is 4/5 girls to boys. if there are 60 girls you would divide 60 by 4 and get 15. you would then multiply that 15 by 5 to get the number of boys in the choir. your answer would be 75 because 15x5=75. there are 75 boys in the choir

5. A packet of razors and a bar of soap cost £5.50. If the soap costs £2.50 less than the razors, find the cost of each.

alex41 [277]

Let the cost of soap be x,
cost of razors = x + 2.5
total cost = 2x + 2.5
2x + 2.5 = 5.5
2x = 3
x = 1.5
cost of razors = 1.5 + 2.5
= 4

The cost of the packet of razors and bar of soap is £4.00 and £1.50 respectively.

If g (x)= x+1/x-2 and h(x) =4-c, what is the value of (g•h)(-3)?

Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(h(-3)) = g(7)

As h(x)= 4-x so h(-3) = 4+3=7

(g•h)(-3)= g(7) = 7+1/7-2= 8/5

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes thru the points (4,-2) and (-5,7)

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in a slope intercept form is given as :

$y = mx + c$ , where m is the gradient and c, y - intercept.

First, let us find the gradient, m of the line that passes through the points, (4,-2) and (-5,7) using the relation ;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1}$

By substitution we get

$m = \frac{7- (- 2)}{ - 5 - 4}$

$\implies m = \frac{7 + 2}{ - (5 + 4)}$

$\implies m = \frac{9}{ - 9} = - 1$

We substitute any of the points and the value of m into y= mx + c to find the value for c.

$\implies - 2 = 4( - 1) + c$

$\implies - 2 = - 4+ c$

Adding 4 to both sides.

$\implies 4- 2= - 4 + 4+ c$

$\implies 4- 2= + c$

$\implies c = 2$

Hence the equation of the line is :

y = -x +2
