Answer:
10 boys, 15 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls
let x be the scale factor of the ratio
2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1
Simplify: 2x+5=3x
Simplify: 5=x
plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15
Check: 10/15 = 2/3
10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
19 is the answer for this question
Answer:
side of 6.124 ft and height of 3.674 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's s be the side of the square base and h be the height of the rectangular box.
The base and the roof would have an area of
and cost of

The sides would have an area of 4sh and cost of 4sh*2.5 = 10sh
So the total cost for the material is



The volume of the shed has the following formula

To find the maximum value for V, we can take its first derivative, and set it to 0




h = 45/s - 0.6s = 3.674 ft
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for this problem is
Area = 1/2 base x Height
step 1) plug in what we know
5 = 1/2 base(5)
step 2) switch sides
1/2 base x 5 = 5
step 3) divide both sides by 1/2 x 5
= 
step 4) Simplify

step 5) Simplify

step 6) now you have gotten the answer<u> x = 2</u>
