Answer:
10 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
6:2 simplfies to 3:1 30 / 3 = 10
30:10 simplfies down to 6:2

and also

now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus

so
108 = ( x)(48-x)
108 = 48x - x^2
48x -x^2 -108 = 0
I'm assuming you're doing solve the square right now, so you should be able to do the rest.
Rationalizing is just simpllifying, so the simplified value has the same value as the original expression.
