Answer: 17/40 of the students are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the number of girls in the class, we can subtract the number of boys (23) from the total number of students (40) to get:

40 - 23 = 17

There are 17 girls in the class.

Finally, to get the fraction of the girl students of the class, we can divide the number of girls (17) by the total number of students (40) to get:

17 ÷ 40 = $\frac{17}{40}$

Since the fraction $\frac{17}{40}$ is already simplified, the final answer comes out to be $\frac{17}{40}$ .

miv72 [106K]

<span>1. </span><span>Given numbers
=> 7 centimeters convert to meters
In every 1 meter there are 100 centimeters
=> 7 / 100
=> 0.07
Therefore in 7 centimeters there are 0.07 meters.
7 cm is a whole number while 0.07 m is a decimal number
Scientific Notation of each numbers
=> 7 cm = 7 x 10^0
=> 7 m = 1 x 10^-2
Scientific notation by the way is an expression used by the scientist to make a large number or very small number easy to handle.
