<h3>
Answer = 3:1</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown
45 girls : 15 boys
45/15 girls : 15/15 boys .... divide both parts by 15
3 girls : 1 boy
This tells us there are three times as many girls as there are boys.
We write this as the ratio 3 : 1. The order of the terms is important. We cannot say 1:3 since that would imply there are more boys than girls, but it's the other way around.
Remember the rules of Sohcahtoa (Sine, cosine, tangent). For this problem we take the cosine of 38 because the labeled sides are the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse.
Cos(38)=79/x
Cosine of 38 is about 0.7880
0.7880=79/x
Next we multiply both sides by the denominator
(x) 0.7880=79 (x)
Then divide.
<u>0.7880x</u>= <u>79</u>
0.7880 0.7880
X=100.25
Hope this helped :)
