Answer:

3/8 = x/160

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the total amount of boys and girls, so you add 3+5.

3+5= 8

So 8 is the total, and out of 8 people, 3 of them are boys. Now that you have that, you can set up the first part of the proportion.

3/8

Now, what information does it give you about the people in the grade? It tells you the total amount, but not the number of boys.

3/8 = out of 8 people, 3 of them are boys.

x/160 = out of 160 people in a grade, x of them are boys.

So your final proportion would be 3/8 = x/160.

Bonus:

If you need to find the number of boys in a grade, just solve the proportion as normal, which would give you 60. So there are 60 boys out of 160 people in a grade.

Answer:

60 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

boys : girls = 3 : 5

Total number of people = 160

Let y = common factor:

Therefore, 3y + 5y = 160

⇒ 8y = 160

⇒ y = 160 ÷ 8 = 20

Boys = 3y = 3 x 20 = 60

Girls = 5y = 5 x 20 = 100

So there are 60 boys and 100 girls

Write an explicit formula for an,<br> the nth<br> term of the sequence 31, 37,43, ....
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The formula for the nth term of this sequence is: 31 + (n-1)X6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence (ie. each term is the last term with a fixed value added to it).

T1 =31

T2 = 37 = T1 + 6 = 31 + 6

T3 = 43 = T2 + 6 = 31 + 6 + 6 = 31 + 6X2

…

In general, the nth term is 31 + 6(n-1)

Determine whether 5, 238 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 10.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

2, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply try each value using long division.

2:

Since 5,238 ends in an even number, that automatically means it is divisible by 2.

5238/2=2619

Now for 3:

5238/3=1746 no remainder or decimal, so 3 also works

4:

You can either do long division again with 4, or you can see if 5238 divided by 2 (5238/2) is also divisible by 2. Since 2619 doesn't end in an even number, 4 is a no go.

Long division 5238/4=1309.5 decimal here, so 4 isn't an answer

5:

This is also very easy, simply check if the number ends in 0 or 5. Since 5,238 does not, 5 doesn't work either.

6:

You can do the same thing as with 4, except this time trying to find if 5238 divided by 3 (5238/3) is divisible by 2. Since 1746 ends in an even number, 6 also works.

Long division: 5238/6=873

9:

You can do the same thing as with 6, except this time trying to find if 5238 divided by 3 (5238/3) is divisible by 3.

1746/3=548 with a remainder of 2, which means 9 doesn't work

Long division: 5238/9=548.66 repeating

10:

Finally, 10 is another easy one. Simply check if the number ends in 0. 5,238 does not, so 10 doesn't work.
