The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:5 what fraction of the class is boys and what fraction of the class is girls

2 answers:

7 0

First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).

9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.

The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.

This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct.

But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)

Answer:

4/9 and 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple really you add up the ratios 4+5=9

So 9 will be the amount you have so this will be the denominator.

This means the fraction of boys will be 4/9 and the fraction of girls will be 5/9.

I hope this helped :)

In answering the following questions, assume that the angular acceleration is constant and nonzero: alpha not equal to zero.

Ronch [10]

I think the correct answer would be true. The quantity represented by theta is a function of time. This is because the rate of change of angular speed is constant which means the angular distance is changing with time. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which graph shows the solution to the following inequality? 4d- 6 < 18 PLEASE HELP

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

answer a

Step-by-step explanation:

$4d-6$ < $18$

Let's isolate $d$ on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.

$4d-6=18\\4d-6+6=18+6\\4d=24\\\frac{4d}{4}=\frac{24}{4}\\ d=6$

Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating $d$ , but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.

$d$ < $6$

On a number line, this would include every number less than $6$ , due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number greater than $6$ . But, how do we decide between answers a and c?
If a line has point at its beginning, $6$ , then that means that every number less than or equal to [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says less than [ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.

Rewrite the expression as a multiple of a sum of two numbers with no common factor 15+24 _____

nata0808 [166]

To rewrite the expression as a multiple of a sum of two numbers with no common factor, we're supposed to find the greatest common factor between the terms and factor it out. We can see that both 15 and 24 are divisible by 3. So let's factor the 3 out. Since the 3 goes into 15 five times and into 24 eight times, the expression can be rewritten like this.

15 + 24 = 3(5 + 8)

Show me how much to shade

Gnoma [55]

If you're talking about inequality graphs, you shade the area where any point in the shaded area can solve the inequality, if I remember correctly. I can't exactly show you how much to shade.
