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

Theo bought 2 hot dogs and two drinks for $4.00. At the same concession stand, Vicky bought 3 hot dogs and a drink for $4.50. Wr
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The hot dog are $2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot Dogs = H

Drinks = D

2H + 2D = 4

Divide both sides by 2

H + D = 2

Subtract D from either side

H = 2 -D

3H + D = 4.50

Plug in 2 - D for H

3(2- D ) + D = 4.50

6 - 3D + D = 4.50

6 - 4D = 4.50

Add 6 to either side

-4D = 10.50

Divide either side by -4

D = -2 . 625
