Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

No. of boys = 2x

No. of girls = 3x

2x + 3x = 135

5x = 135

x = 135/5

x = 27

No. of boys = 2x = 2(27) = 54

The ratio of a model building's dimensions to the building's actual dimensions is 1/52. If the height of the model is 15 inches,

g100num [7]

Set this up as a proportion with the model stuff on top and actual building stuff on bottom. $\frac{1}{52} = \frac{15}{x}$ . Cross multiply to get x = 780. The actual building is 780 inches. In feet that is 65.

The length of a rectangular poster is 2 more inches than three times its width. The area of the poster is 33 square inches. Solv

laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = 33 inches sq

Area of a rectangle (formula) = l*b

let the width be x

length = 2 inches + 3x = 2+3x

Area of the rectangle = l*b = 2+3x + x

33 inches sq = 2+3x + x

33 in sq = 2+4x

33/2 = 4x

16.5/4 = x

x = 4.125

width= 4.125 inches

length = 2+3x = 2+3(4.125) = 14.375

(unless your poster is 32 sq inches and you made a mistake, just replace 33 with 32 and solve it)
