In a school, 5/8 of the students are boys. If there are 240 girls, find the number of boys in the school.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

400 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the fraction along with the given information (240 girls)

If 5/8 of the school are boys, then that means 3/8 of the school's students are girls. 3/8 happen to be equal to 240, which means we can conclude that 1/8 is equivilant to 240/3 = 80

80 multiplied by 5 = 400

There are 400 boys in the school. (640 total students in school)

Tip: Easy way to check answer is by putting the boys over the total students to find the ratio, and if it matches, your answer is correct. 400/640 = 0.625, which equals 5/8

Hope this helps :)

Solve the equation -4x^3=32

Answers

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x^3 = 32

x^3 = -8

take the cube root of both sides.

x = -2

[tex]-4x^3= 32\\\\\implies x^3 = -\dfrac{32}4\\\\\implies x^3 = -8\\\\\implies x^3 +8 = 0\\\\\implies x^3 +2^3 =0\\\\\implies (x+2)(x^2 -2x +2^2)=0\\\\\implies (x+2)(x^2 -2x +4) = 0\\\\\implies x +2 =0~~~\text{or} ~~~~x^2 -2x +4 = 0\\ \\\implies x = -2 ~~~~~~\text{or} ~~~~ x= \dfrac{2 \pm\sqrt{-12}}{2}=\dfrac{2 \pm i\sqrt{12}}2}=\dfrac{2\pm2i\sqrt3}{2}=1\pm i\sqrt 3\\\\\text{Hence,}~ x = -2,~~ x = 1+i\sqrt 3,~~~ x= 1-i\sqrt3[/tex]

O B. y + 2 = -3(x - 2)
O C. y2 = -3(x+2)

Answers

The point-slope form of the line is y + 2 = -3(x - 2). The correct option is B. y + 2 = -3(x - 2)

Point-slope form of an equation of a line

From the question, we are to determine the point-slope form of the given line

The point-slope form of an equation of a straight line is written as

[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]

Where m is the slope and [tex](x_{1},\ y_{1})[/tex] is a point on the line

From the given information,

m = -3

And in the diagram,

One of the points on the line is (2, -2)

Therefore, we can write that

x₁ = 2 and y₁ = -2

Substituting into the point-slope form of an equation of a line,

We get

y - (-2) = -3(x - 2)

This becomes

y + 2 = -3(x - 2)

Hence, the pointslope form of the line is y + 2 = -3(x - 2). The correct option is B. y + 2 = -3(x - 2)

Water is pouring into a conical vessel of diameter 5.2m and slant height 6.8m (as shown in the adjoining figure), at the rate of 1.8 m per minute. How long will it take to fill the vessel?​

Answers

Answer:

31.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find area of the vessel [ (πr2h)/3 ]

Radius = 5.2/2= 2.6

Using Pythagorean theorem, find the height of the cone:

[tex]\sqrt{6.8^{2} -5.2^{2} }[/tex] = 4.38

Area of vessel = [tex]\frac{ (PI * 2.6 * 2 * 4.38)}{3}[/tex] =  56.88 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Do cross multiplication using ratios:

1.8      =    1

56.88 =   [tex]x[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

In the first 5 years, 138,750$ worth of rent will already have been paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have to pay 925$ a month worth of rent, in only 1 year, 5,550$ rent money will already have been payed. Now, multiply 925 x 5 x 30 = 138,750. Since the rent increases by 6% every year, in the first 5 years it would have already increased to 30%. So therefore, you would have to pay 138,750$ money worth of rent.
