1. In a class of x children, 16 boys. What fraction of the class are boys.
2. Inside a stable there are h horses. 6 of them are taken out of the yard to exercise. How many are left in the stable.
3. There are b people on a bus. At the next stop, 7 get off and 10 more get on. How many people are on the bus now?
The area of a triangle is base length x height then divide all by 2,
so 12 x 10 /2
=60 ft²
By cross-multiplying, we get
15x + 30 = 24
15x = -6
x = -3 / 5
