Answer:

24 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using simultaneous equations.

You know the number of boys plus the number of girls is 52, so b + g = 52.

You also know the number of boys is 6/7 the number of girls, so b = 6/7g

Then you can substitute this into the first equation - 6/7g + g = 52, so 13/7g = 52.

Solving that equation, 52 / 13/7 = 28, so there are 28 girls.

You then work out the number of boys by doing 52- the number of girls, so 52- 28 = 24 boys

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions :)

In 1603, German astronomer Christoph Scheiner began to copy and scale diagrams using an instrument that came to be known as the
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.    The pin’s location aids to create two drawings simultaneously. This is that while drawing an image, a copy, which may vary in size, is created at the same time.

2.    The pantograph relates to dilation and similarity due to the use of similar triangles that affect the scale of the second drawing.  

3.    The use of similar triangles illustrates the process of the pantograph because the ratio of similitude is set when determining where to place the pin. When a triangle is moved while tracing a line, along with the outline of the image, an enlarged/reduced version of the image is created by the other pantograph's end.

4.    The pantograph is now obsolete and has been replaced by several different ways of producing duplicates such as photocopying, mass printing, and digital filing.

Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(2,−3) B(4,−3) C(4,5) D(2,5
AveGali [126]

Answer:

21 unit square

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find the length and width of the rectangle using the distance formula:

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

AB=√(6-3)²+ (-2 - -2)²

AB=√3² + 0

AB=√9

AB=3

BC=√(6-6)²+ (5 - -2)²

BC=√0 + 7²

BC=√49

BC=7

We can find the area by multiplying these two distances together:

A=(3)(7)

A=21 units square.

Hope it helped...... And plz mark BRAINLIEST

Round 7.76 to one decimal place
Gelneren [198K]
So if a number is 5 or greater you round up but if the number is 4 or less you round down so the number 6 is above five so you would round the 6 to 10 therefore making it 7.8 instead of 7.76

12 yellow balls and 9 red balls are placed in an urn. Two balls are then drawn in succession without replacement. What is the pr
denis23 [38]

Answer:

\frac{9}{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

When the first draw is done there are 9 red balls in a sample size of 21. So there probability of drawing a red ball will be \frac{9}{21}

When the second draw is done, there will be 12 yellow balls in a sample size of 20 since the first ball will not have been replaced into the bag. So the chance of someone drawing the second ball in the second draw is \frac{12}{20}

The probability of them happening in this order is the product of both probabilities:

\frac{9}{21}  * \frac{12}{20}  = \frac{9}{35}
