Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a table

\left[\begin{array}{cc}boys&girls\\2&5\\2x&5x\end{array}\right]

2 : 5 is the same as 2x : 5x because you multiply both sides in 2:5 by x

If the ratio is 2x : 5x, what is the total?

2x + 5x = 7x

The total is 7x

However, we are given that there are 42 students

So, 7x = 42

x = 6

As we said earlier, boys = 2x

We know that x = 6, so 2x must equal to 12

There are 12 boys.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!

Alysha’s average speed when walking home from the market was 5 mph, and it takes her 21 minutes longer than when she drives to t
Delicious77 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Alysha's time to drive home from the market.

Speed and time are inversely proportional to each other (for the same distance), so we have ...

  (walking speed)(walking time) = (driving speed)(driving time)

  5(x +21) = (8·5)(x)

  x +21 = 8x . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  21 = 7x . . . . . . . . subtract x

  3 = x . . . . . . .divide by 7

It takes Alysha 3 minutes to drive home from the market.
