Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of girls to boys is 3:5, that means that for every 8 total students, 3 would be girls and 5 would be boys. Therefore 3/8 of the students are girls and 5/8 are boys. If 3/8 are girls, then:

\frac{3}{8} of 32

= \frac{3}{8} * 32

=\frac{3 * 32}{8} \\= \frac{96}{8} \\= 12

There are 12 girls.

Add the ratio: 3 + 5 = 8

Divide total students by that:

32/8 = 4

The ratio for girls is 3, multiply the 4 by 3:

4 x 3 = 12

There are 12 girls

PRETTY PLEASE HELP ME! this is 4 a test and i’m rlly struggling :/
igor_vitrenko [27]
Alright here we go
First we need to find the upper angle by doing 180 - 143 = 37. Because it’s a straight line.
Second we need to find angle ADC
a triangle has 180 degrees, and we have 38 and 37.
180 - (38+37) = 105
then we find what the question wants:
180 - 105 = 75 degrees

4x=28
x=7

A corresponding solution of the matching equation is a fancier way of telling you to find the number that represents x
