Answer:

girls = 20

boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

boys = 3/4 x = .75x

girls = x

x + .75x = 35

1.75x = 35

x = 35/1.75

x = 20

girls = 20

boys = 3/4 * 20 = 15

boys = 15

the distance around a track is 400m. if you take 14 laps around the track what is the total distance you walk? use mental math

Olegator [25]

to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.

4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56

now add the zeroes back on: 5600m

Irving can I remember the correct order of the five digits on his ID number he does remember that the ID number contains the dig

Cloud [144]

Answer: $\frac{27}{125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the total numbers are 1, 4, 3, 7, 6

Since the total number of possible arrangement = $5\times 5 \times5 \times 5 \times 5=5^5$

The total number of the odd numbers in the given numbers = 3

Thus the possible arrangement that the first three digits will be odd numbers = $3\times 3\times 3\times 5\times 5=3^3\times 5^2$

Thus, the probability that the first three digits of Irvings ID number will be odd numbers = the possible arrangement that the first three digits will be odd numbers / total possible arrangement = $\frac{3^3\times 5^2}{5^5} = \frac{3^2}{5^{5-2}}$

= $\frac{3^3}{5^3} = \frac{27}{125}$

Answer:

$x=2$ and $y=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are given, we can solve one of the equation in terms of single variable and put it in the other equation which will further give the value of x and y.

For the given equations:
