2/5 are girls, therefore 3/5 are boys
3/5 = 24
1/5 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
2/5 = 8 x 2 = 16
Altogether = 16 + 24 = 40
24 - 1 6 = 8
There are 40 children altogether
There are 8 more boys than girls.
Answer: 60 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're supposed to find area it would be 5x7 + 5x5 = 35 + 25 = 60
Just list the factors of 24. Those are the possible numbers of students that can be in each row.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 are the possible row sizes.
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
How much more does it need to, get to 6,550,000?
