Colfax:
Add the ratio numbers together:
5 + 4 = 9
Divide total students by that:
270 / 9 = 30
Multiply each ratio by 30:
Boys = 30 *5 = 150
Girls = 30 * 4 = 120
Do the same for Winthrop:
4 +5 = 9
180 /9 = 20
Boys = 20 * 4 = 80
Girls = 20 * 5 = 100
Total students = 270 + 180 = 450
Total Girls = 120 + 100 = 220
Fraction that are girls = 220 / 450 which reduces to 22/45
Answer:
Nopes 3²+4²≠12²
Step-by-step explanation:
12²=144
3²+4²=
9+16=25
25≠144
To make it easier to see exactly WHY 3²+4²≠12² you can spread out the numbers in the equation.
(3·3)+(4·4)≠(12·12)
When solving equations you use PEMDAS (Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction). You have to solve in THAT ORDER.
