Answer:

  • 12 boys
  • 20 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.

The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.

The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.

There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

I find the above solution to be the easiest.

You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.

  b/g = 3/5

  b +g = 32

Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:

  b = (3/5)g

  (3/5)g +g = 32

  8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8

  b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g

You are traveling at 75 miles per hour on a straight stretch of highway in Nevada. It is noon now. When will you arrive at the n
Levart [38]
Right now it is noon..... you are traveling 75 miles per hour meaning you'll move 75 miles... every hour. so you're 120 miles away so now we need to figure out the time.... to do this we already know 1 hour is 75 miles so now you can subtract one hour 120-75= 45 so 75 per hour, what would 45 be?..... so we can set up a fraction to figure out how long it takes to travel one minute.... so 60/75(the 60 is for minutes in an hour). which is .8 of a second to travel one mile so.... now you can multiply to check your work. .8*75=60 mins.... so now multiply.8*45(miles left)=36 so you'd get there at 1:36 it would take an hour and 36 mins to get to your destination going 75mph

Help plz MATH question for ASM

Answer:

  6. step 2; terms are improperly combined; it should be -61n-8=-8

  7. no; point (2, 5) is not part of the solution in the left graph

Step-by-step explanation:

6. Step 2 should be ...

  -61n -8 = -8 . . . . . because -5n-56n = -61n, not -51n

__

7. The boundary lines of both graphs go through the point (2, 5). In the left graph, the line is dashed, indicating that points on the line are not part of the solution set. The point (2, 5) on the dashed line is not a solution to that inequality.

The solid boundary line indicates that the points on the line are part of the solution set. The point (2, 5) on the solid line is a solution to that inequality.

The point (2, 5) is not a solution to both inequalities.
