Answer:
BG = 3; GE = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The centroid of a triangle divides the median into two parts in the ratio 1 : 2. That is, the short segment is 1/3 the length of the median, and the long segment is 2/3 the length of the median.
BG = 1/3·BE = 9/3 = 3
GE = 2/3·BE = 2/3·9 = 18/3 = 6
It would be C because that is the one that make the most sense
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to figure this out is just by dividing the initial amount of students (18) by the current amount of students (24), and then subtracting 1.
So, 18/24 = 0.75 (aka 75%), and 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 (aka 25%)
