Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of any objects can be calculated by dividing the two objects with the common number.

Boys in the sixth grade = 35.

Girls in the sixth grade = 42.

Ratio of boys to girl = \frac{boys}{girls}

Ratio = \frac{35}{42}

Ratio = 5:6. (the numbers are divided by 7).

Thus, the ratio is 5:6 and not the 5:7.

Thus, Lonnie is not correct.

No... 35 divided by 7 is 5 and 42 divided 7 is 6 ... it should actually be 5:6

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle circumscribed over a right triangle is the same as a circle circumscribed over a rectangle built from the extension of the right triangle.

That tells us that the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle in that case.

Here, we can see a triangle that has the hypotenuse as the diameter of the circumscribed circle. We can infer that the triangle is a right triangle.

FrozenT [24]

Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?

14S + 4C = 200

14S = 200 - 4C

S = (200 - 4C)/14

7S + 1C = 92

7S = 92 - C

S = (92 - C)/7

(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7

7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)

1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C

1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C

112 = 14C

C = 112/14 = 8

the price of one child ticket = $8

Find the vertex and axis of symmetry of each quadratic equation.
icang [17]

Answer: Vertex (-2,-15) and therefore the axis of sym will be -2

Step-by-step explanation: Using -b/2a you can deduce that 4x^2 is a, 16x is b and 1 is c. So -b/2a = -16/8 = -2. Then you plug -2 for y and yu should get -15. Then x will be your axis of symetry to x=-2
