The answer would be c because the absolute value of both numbers would be the distance between them
I've seen this question on Brainly before, and I always shake my head.
Please think about this for a few seconds. Maybe even make some
scribbles on a piece of paper.
-- A triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles.
-- A square, rectangle, rhombus or parallelogram has 4 sides and 4 angles.
-- Draw anything with 5 sides. It doesn't have to be pretty, and they don't
all have to be the same length or anything special. Just draw any shape
with 5 sides. Count the angles, and you'll find that there are five of them.
By now you should be starting to get the creepy hunch that maybe a
polygon always has the SAME number of sides and angles. I hope so.
That's the correct creepy hunch.
You can get all kinds of hunches, and even work most of them out,
just by using your thinker for a while.
The midpoint formula is basically (averaging the x coordinates, averaging the y coordinates).
Point A: (3, 7)
Point B: (2, -1)
Midpoint x: (3 + 2) / 2 = 5 / 2
Mindpoint y: (7 - 1) / 2 = 3
Therefore, the midpoint of the segment is choice C (5/2, 3)
So there are x girls and x-4 boys and together they make 28:
x+x-4=28
2x-4=28
2x=32
x=16
so there are 16 girls and 12 boys.
the ratio is then 16:12, or we can simplify (by dividing both sides by 4): 4:3
so the best answer is 4:3.
