40 boys and 68 girls
let's start with variables and an equation.
boys: x
girls: 2x - 12
and we know that boys and girls make up the class. so let's add the two expressions.
x + 2x - 12 = 108
3x - 12 = 108
+ 12 + 12
3x = 120
x = 40 boys
BUT x is only the number of BOYS in the class. so we have to find girls now. let's plug in our value of x into the girls' equation.
2x - 12 = # of girls
2(40) -12 = # of girls
80 - 12 = # of girls
68 girls
let's check our answer!
68 + 40 does in fact add to 108, therefore our answer is correct.
Answer:
40ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the garden (square) tells you that both the length and the width of the garden are the same measure.
If the area is 100sqft, you can determine that side * side = 100. To find this answer, you can take the square root of 100. side=10, because 10 * 10= 100 (the area).
Now, we know that each side measures 10 feet. Try drawing and labeling a picture to help you visualize the garden. Next, label each side of the square garden 10ft. To find the feet of fencing is needed to enclose the garden,
We need to find the perimeter, so we can calculate
10ft * 4 sides = 40 feet of fencing.
