Answer:

10 boys, 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls

let x be the scale factor of the ratio

2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1

Simplify: 2x+5=3x

Simplify: 5=x

plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15

Check: 10/15 = 2/3

10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1

Answer:

f(6) = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -6

f(x) = x^2/3 - 2

f(-6) = (-6)^2/3 -2         Replace x with the given number

      = -36/3 - 2            Simplify -6 to the power of 2

      = - 12 - 2                Divide -36 by 3

f(6) = - 14                      Subtract -2 from -12

Lamar used 7/8 of a cup of raisins to make snacks mix. he used 3/4 of a cup of raisins to make cookies what expression could be
Alinara [238K]
The answer is B.

In order to add the two values together, you must find the least common multiple for the denominators. The denominators are 8 and 4, and the least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Because you have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, you must also multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. This will give you 6/8.
