3:2=5
so girls are 2:5
set up the proportion
2/5=x/9
5x=18
x=3.6 girls; doesn’t work so no!

another way you can look at it is because there are 3 boys for every 2 girls, add 2 more girls, you’ll get 3 more boys
that makes the total of 10 people so 9 is impossible

How do I solve 4/9+9/2 and write my answer as a mixed number?
jenyasd209 [6]

9 has factors of 3*3.

2 is prime, so no factors.

from those two denominators, we can get the LCD of hmmm simply their product, namely 18.

\bf \cfrac{4}{9}+\cfrac{9}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 18}}{\cfrac{(2)4+(9)9}{18}}\implies \cfrac{8+81}{18}\implies \cfrac{89}{18}\implies 4\frac{17}{18}

now, recall that, to get the mixed fraction, we divide 89 ÷ 18, the quotient goes up front, the "4", and the remainder is the one atop, the "17".

mrs_skeptik [129]
Ok so you have 4, x^6 / 2, x^4. Now divide the coefficient so 4/2=2. So 2 x^6/x^4, now subtract the numerator by the denominator so x^6-x^4=x^2 so now you have 2x^2

Answer: 2x^2
