Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically to find the boys fraction I subtracted 40 from 96 and got 56. Your answer for the number of boys would be 56/96. I divided 4 from each and got 14/24. lastly I divide by 2 and got 7/12.
Because y varies inversely as x, therefore

where k = constant.
When x = 6, y = 2.5. Ther efore

Cross multiply.
k = 6 x 2.5 = 15
The equation is

When x = 4, obtain

Answer: a. 3.75
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to simplify

We multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

We cancel the common factors to get,

This gives us,

Answer:
x = 1, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
15x + 3y = 9 (1)
10x + 7y = -4 (2)
3 × (2) - 2 × (1)
3 × (2)
30x + 21y = -12 (3)
2 × (1)
30x + 6y = 18 (4)
(3) - (4)
15y = -30
y = -30 / 15
y = -2
sub y = -2 into (1)
15x + 3y = 9
15x + (3 × -2) = 9
15x - 6 = 9
15x = 9 + 6
15x = 15
x = 15 / 15
x = 1
