The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 5:3. If there are 18 more boys than girls, work out how
many people there are in total.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  72 people total

45 boys, 27 girls

============================================================

Explanation:

g = number of girls

g+18 = number of boys, since there are 18 more boys than girls

For example, if g = 7, then g+18 = 7+18 = 25. In this example, we have 7 girls and 25 boys. The problem with this example is the ratio of boys to girls is 25:7 which is not equal to 5:3

We could use trial and error until we land on the solution, or we can use algebra as shown in the next section.

-------------------

The ratio of boys to girls is 5:3, meaning

(number of boys)/(number of girls) = 5/3

which turns into

(g+18)/g = 5/3

after we make the proper substitutions

Let's solve for g

(g+18)/g = 5/3

3(g+18) = 5g

3g+54 = 5g

54 = 5g-3g

54 = 2g

2g = 54

g = 54/2

g = 27

There are 27 girls.

This leads to,

g+18 = 27+18 = 45

So there are 45 boys

In total, we have 27+45 = 72 people

-----------------------------

Checking the answer:

The claim is that 45/27 is the same as 5/3

For now assume that claim is true. Set the fractions equal to each other and use cross multiplication like so

45/27 = 5/3

45*3 = 27*5

135 = 135

The third equation has the same thing on both sides, so it's a true equation. This must mean the first equation is true as well. Therefore, 45:27 and 5:3 are the same ratio and the answer is confirmed.

You could also use your calculator to note that

45/27 = 1.667

5/3 = 1.667

both decimal values are approximate.

Answer 2

The people there are in total of 72 students

Let the ratio of boys to girls be 5x: 3x

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 5:3.

What is the formula?

no. of boys = 18 + no. of girls

=> 5x = 18 + 3x

=> 5x - 3x = 18

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 18/2

x= 9

No. of boys = 5x

No. of boys= 5 × 9

No. of boys= 45

No. of girls = 3x

No. of girls= 3 × 9

No. of girls= 27

Total = 45 + 27

Total= 72

Hence, there are 72 students there.

A number is 12 more than the other. Find the numbers if their sum is 48​

Answers

Answer:

let one number be x and the other be x + 12

sum = 48

x + x + 12 = 48

2x + 12 = 48

2x = 48 - 12

2x = 36

x = 36 by 2

x = 18

therefore x = 18 and x+12= 18+12=30

so the answer is 18 and 30

Noah and Lin are marketing paper cones to hold popcorn to hand out at parent math night. They want the cones to hold 9 cubic inches of popcorn. What are two different possible values for height h and radius r for the cones?


if h=3, then r=


if r=2, then h=

Answers

Answer: r = 1.69 inches

              h = 2.15 inches

Step-by-step explanation: Volume of a solid is the amount of space contained within a solid.

Volume of a cone is directly proportional to radius and height:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

They want the cones to hold the same volume of 9 cubic inches.

If height is 3:

[tex]9=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}3[/tex]

[tex]\pi r^{2}=9[/tex]

[tex]r^{2}=2.864[/tex]

r = 1.69 inches

When height is 3, radius is 1.69 inches for a cone to have 9 cubic inches of volume.

If radius is 2:

[tex]9=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^{2}h[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{9(3)}{4 \pi}[/tex]

h = 2.15 inches

If radius is 2 inches, height of the cone is 2.15 inches.

Solve the simultaneous equations
5x + 3y = 41

Do not use trial and improvement

Answers

5x + 3y = 41
2x + 3y = 20
Solve 3y
-> 3y = 41 - 5x
Substitute
2x + 41 - 5x = 20
-3x = 20 - 41
= -21
x= 7
Substitute
2x + 3y = 14 + 3y = 20
3y = 6
y = 2
=> x=7, y=2

The solution to the system of equation is (7, 2)

Using the simultaneous equation:

5x + 3y = 41

2x + 3y = 20

using elimination method

Subtract equation 1 from 2 to have:

5x - 2x = 41 - 20

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 into equation 1 to get y

5x + 3y = 41

5(7) + 3y = 41

35 + 3y = 41

5y = 41 - 35

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = 2

Hence the solution to the system of equation is (7, 2)

A truck that is 10 ft. by 12 ft. by 8 ft. carries cube shaped boxes that have a
length of 1.5 ft. How many of these boxes can this truck hold?

Answers

Answer:

284.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide all numbers by 1.5. example: (10)1.5(12)1.5(81.5= 284.444444 but I rounded it to 284. You're welcome

284 boxes in the shape of the cubes can be fitted in the truck.

If a truck is fitted fully with the cubes, volume of the truck will be equal to the volume of cubes to be fitted.

Dimensions of the truck given in the question,

Length = 10 feet, width = 12 feet and height = 8 feet

Since, volume of a cuboid (shape of a truck) is given by the expression,

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Therefore, volume of the truck = 10 × 12 × 8

                                                   = 960 feet³

Volume of a cube is given by the expression,

Volume = (side)³

Therefore, volume of the cube with side length 1.5 feet will be,

Volume of a cube = (1.5)³

                              = 3.375 cubic feet

Let the number of cubes fitted in the truck = x

Therefore, volume of 'x' cubes = (3.375x) feet³

Since, volume of the truck = Volume of the cubes fitted

3.375x = 960

x = [tex]\frac{960}{3.375}[/tex]

x = 284.44

x ≈ 284

     Therefore, 284 boxes in the shape of the cubes can be fitted in the truck.
