1:3 is the ratio to boys and girls. I know that 1/4 must be girls. 3/4 will be boys.
Divide 236 by 4.
236/4= 59
Multiply that by 3.
59*3= 177
177 of the students are boys.
I hope this helps!

We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
![\sqrt{[(-5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} ]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B%5B%28-5-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%280-0%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%7D%20%20)
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a= 
Answer:
B. $10 bag, $0.80 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
10 / 8 = 0.80
25 / 15 = 1.67
0.80 is cheaper
Total number of pastries = 54 + 31 + 10 = 95
Number of croissants = 10
Probability of picking a croissant = 10/95
On simplifying, we get, <u>2/19</u>
