Answer:
45 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
If 60% of the class is girls then 40% of the class is boys.
30 boys are in the class, meaning that 40% of the class comprises those 30 boys
First, we need the total number of class members: 30/x = 40/100 -> 40x=3000 -> x=3000/40 -> x=75
Now that we know the total class members, at 75, we can calculate the number of girls in the class. You can do this:
0.6*75=45
or
60/100=x/75 and solve for x
Answer:
(B)72 fluid ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert cups to fluid ounces, Sari wrote the equivalent ratios.

Let the question mark be represented by x.
We then have:

We conclude that there are 72 fluid ounces in 9 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the length of ST is calculated using pythagorean theorem:

Where the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. In this case, the hypotenuse is ST and the other two sides are distances between S and T over the X and Y axis. Those are easily calculated:

Where x is the distance between S and T over X axis and Y distance over Y axis, sx and tx are X coordinates of S and T, sy and ty are Y coordinates of S and T.
Using that formula, you get that y = 17 and x = 8.
Back to the pythagorean theorem, if we put those number in the formula of the pythagorean theorem, we get something like this:

And finally, the correct answer is in fact 353.
My friend the answer is calculated by dividing denominator by 2 ie the answer is 1.
