There are 48 students in a school play.The ratio of boys to girl is 5:7.How many more girls than boys are in the play? Explain how you found your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: if we add the numbers from the ratio (5+7=12), we can divide the students into 12 groups, 48/12=4, the groups will have 4 people each.

that means that every number in the ratio actually represents this many groups of 4, so the first one is 5 groups of 4, that is 20 students and the second is 7 groups of 4, that is 28 students.

so there are 28 girls and 20 boys, which is 8 more girls than boys!

PLUG N CHUG!! :)

1.) (-1,-1)--->>> -1=2(-1)+1

-1=-2+1

-1=-1 (Yes)

2.) (2,1)---->>> 1=2(2)+1

1=4+1

1=5 (No)

3.) (1,2)--->> 2=2(1)+1

2=2+1

2=3 (No)

4.) (0,3)----->> 3=2(0)+1

5 people share 3/4 lb candy slipt evenly

Answers

If 5 people are sharing 3/4 lb of candy evenly, then all we have to do to find out how much each person makes is divide the amount being split by the amount of people receiving it.

$(3)/(4)$ ÷ 5 = $(3)/(20)$

Each person receives $(3)/(20)$ lbs of candy.
Hope that helped =)

Kevin is riding his bike on a 10 1/8 mile bike path. He has covered 5 3/4 miles already. How many more miles does he have to go to finish?

Answers

You do 10 1/8 minus 5 3/4 which is 35/8, or 4 3/8

so pretty much all we have to do here is subtract 10 and 1/8 minus 5 and 3/4. here's the solving
1 3
10 --- - 5 ---
8 4

the first thing we should do here is turn them into mixed fraction by multiplying the whole number and the denominator. and add the top number. so for 10 and 1/8 we multiply 8 and 10 which is 80 and add the one.
so now we have our numerator which is 81/8 the bottom number stays the same!!
so we now have our first mixed fraction!!
81
---
8
now 5 and 3/4 as a mixed number is 23/4 see how the bottom number stayed the same?
23
---
4
MOVING ON!
now we just changed how these numbers look like so lets set them up again

81 23
--- - ---
8 4
now before we solve this we have to make the denominators( the bottom numbers) the same!

so we can multiply the 4 by 2 to get 8!
but always make sure to do the same to the top as you did to the bottom
so that means we are also multiplying 23 by 2!!
so we have our new fraction!
46
---
8
see this is simple now! lets set up our fractions again

81 46
--- - ---
8 8
now we just subtract the top numbers 81 - 46 = 35!!
so our answer is 35/8

or written as a decimal 4.375 to be exact:))

hope this helped :)

Savannah is 24 years older than Ryan, while Sebastian is 5 times as old as Ryan. If Savannah and Sebastian are twins, which equation may be used to determine the age of all three people?A) 8x = 24
B) 24 + 2x = 5x
C) 24 + 5x = x
D) 24 + x = 5x

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is D) 24 + x = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are twins, we know they are the same age. Since Savannah is 24 years older than Ryan, we can model it as 24 + x, where x is Ryan's age.

Since Sebastian is five times as old as Ryan, we can model it as 5x.

Now, we can set them equal to each other.

24 + x = 5x
