The ratio of females to males would be 13:8
(16/81)^1/2 = the square root of 16/81
Your answer would be 4/9.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3,8
Discussion:
Let "n" and "p" be the two positive integers. Then
n = p - 5 (*)
and
np = 24 (**)
Substituting (*) in (**) gives
np = 24 => as p = n+5
n(n+5) = 24 =>
n^2 + 5n - 24 = 0 => factor polynomial (n+8)(n-3)
So n = 3 or -8 but as n is positive, n = 3 Then p = n + 5 = 8
Check:
Is n (3) 5 less than p (8). Yes
Does np = 3 *8 24. Yes
Thank you,
MrB
Answer: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation: Rise/Run
well, if you add the numbers 3+1 you get 4. from this we know that there are 4 units total. 36÷4=9 so each unit is equal to 9. we can multiply 9•3 to get 27. there are 27 boys. we can multiply 9•1 to get 9 girls. subtracting 9 from 27, we get 18 more boys that girls.
