Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.

Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.

The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were

2/3 × 42 = 28

The number if girls would be

42 - 28 = 14

The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that

28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1

Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

28x + 14 × 2x = 840

28x + 28x = 840

56x = 840

x = 840/56

x = 15

y = 2x = 15 × 2

y = 30

natita [175]
The equation is just 5 3/4 times 3 1/3. You make the denominators the same by multiplying them by each other. It will be 5 3/12 times 3 1/12. Now you times these two together. You can do this part yourself because it will be confusing on here. I hope i helped atleast a little.

Choose the fraction that is greater than 3/18٫is less than 50/100٫and has 9 as its denominator
erik [133]

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The denominator is the bottom value of a fraction, therefore we can discount 9/2
  • 1/9 = 2/18.  2/18 is smaller than 3/18 so we can discount 1/9
  • 50/100 = 0.5
    5/9 = 0.55555...
    0.55555... is greatest than 0.5, therefore we can discount 5/9
  • Answer is 4/9

Both Andrew and Karleigh recorded the distance they ran in x minutes on treadmills. Andrew A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ex:Speed (S) is the ratio of the distance (D) covered to the time (t) taken.

That is, S = D/t

Suppose Andrew ran a distance D1 in 1 hour (3600 seconds) at a Speed, say S1, we have

S1 = D1/t

We can then say he ran a distance

D1 = t × S1

= 3600S1

Similarly, let's say Karleigh ran a distance

D2 = t × S2

= 3600S2

Let us compare these two, you will notice that the bigger number between S1 and S2 is going to determine the bigger number between D1 and D2.

Let's choose random numbers for S1 and S2 for clarity, say S1 = 5, S2 = 10

D1 = 3600 × 5

= 18000

D2 = 3600 × 10

= 36000

This makes D2 bigger than D1. this is an example i found on the internet.

Step-by-

hope this helps, good luck
