Answer:
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
I really don't think you wrote the question properly. Or maybe you did, but this question doesn't make any sense! :/
<u>Solving</u>
Knowing that we have the information needed we will first find the perimeter of the rectangle.
Rectangle:
Length: 13cm
Width: 7cm
Formula: L+L+W+W
13+13+7+7 = 40cm
Meaning the perimeter is 40cm and we can use this to find the length of a square. From general knowledge we know that all sides of a square is equal.
So if we divide the 4 sides by 40 we will get our answer.
40 ÷ 4 = 10
So B would be our answer...
<u>Statement</u>
<u />
Therefore the length of a side of the square is 10cm, meaning answer B is correct.

Answer:
37.5 °C
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature appears to be increasing linearly at the rate of 5 °C in 2 minutes, or 2.5 °C per minute.
1 minute after 4 minutes, when the temperature is 35 °C, we expect it to be 2.5 °C higher, or 37.5 °C.
