So,

We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.

We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8

We'll just use A to represent both J and M.

S = M - 8

We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64

Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64

Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72

Divide both sides by 3
A = 24

Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24

Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16

Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.

So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16

There are 650 sixth graders in the school and 338 of them are girls. What percent of the 6th grade students are girls?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52% are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 650 sixth-graders and 338 of them are girls, we are then asked to find the percentage of how many are girls.

We have the fraction 338 over 650 but need to reduce it.

To solve this, we need to find the GCF of 650 and 338, which is 26, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 26.

\frac{338/26}{650/26}

\frac{13}{25}

Now divide the 13 and 25 :

13 / 25 = 0.52

0.52 * 100 = 52%

Therefore, 52% of the sixth-graders in the school are girls
