There were 8 fewer boys than girls in Mr. Taylor’s Algebra class. If he had 40 pupils, how many were girls?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 24 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the problem like this:

40 = (g-8)+(g)

40 is the total amount of students. (g) is the unknown number of girls in the class, and (g-8) is the amount of boys since there are 8 fewer boys than girls.

First, eliminate the parentheses.

40 = g - 8 + g

Next, combine like terms. Both g's are positive, to we get 2g

40 = g - 8 + g

40 = 2g - 8

Then, add 8 to both sides of the equation, because the 8 that was already present is negative and needs to be canceled out.

40 + 8 = 2g - 8 + 8

48 = 2g

Lastly, divide both sides by 2, so that the (g) is by itself.

40/2 = 24, 2g/2 = g

g=24

This can be tested as the correct answer by subtracting 8 from 24 to count the boys...

24 - 8 = 16

...and adding the two amounts together to get the total amount of students.

24 + 16 = 40

There are 24 girls in the class.

Line q has a slope of -8/9 , Another line r has the slope of 9/8.Are line q and line r parallel or perpendicular?

Answers

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel => both lines have the same value of slope

perpendicular => the product of both slope values are -1

=> -8/9 x 9/8 = -1

If Line q has a slope of -8/9 , Another line r has the slope of 9/8.Then both lines are perpendicular but not parallel

What is Slope of Line?

The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is

m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

Two lines are parallel when the slope of two lines is same, so 1 and r are not parallel.

Two lines are said to be perpendicular when the product of two slopes is minus 1.

Line q has a slope of -8/9

Let m₁=-8/9

r has the slope of 9/8

m₂=9/8

Now let us multiply  m₁ and m₂

m₁ ×m₂

-8/9×9/8

-1

The product of slopes of q and r is -1. The lines are perpendicular.

Hence Line q and line r are perpendicular but not parallel.

Answer:

r = 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2 where r is the radius

36 pi = pi r^2

Divide each side by pi

36 pi/pi = pi r^2/ pi

36 = r^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(36) = sqrt(r^2)

6 =r

The radius is 6 cm

r = 6cm

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

188.52cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Height= 7cm

Radius= 3cm

The expression for the surface area of a cylinder is given as

Surface area=  2πr (h + r)

Surface area= 2*π*3 (7 + 3)

Surface area = 6π (10)

Surface area= 60*3.142

Surface area= 188.52cm^2

Hence the surface area is 188.52cm^2

Answers

If an event occurs 0 times (out of 4, in this case) then it does not occur at least once. So we can find the probability of it not occurring and then subtract that value from 1.

So, what are the chances of it not occurring in 1 trip?

1−.37=.63

What about not occurring in 2 trips?

(1−.37)⋅(1−.37)=.63⋅.63=.3969

Now what about not occurring in 4 trips?

.63^4 = 0.15752961

We must subtract this value from 1

(recall that what we just calculated is the probability of it not occurring, so the probability of it occurring at least once is:

1−0.15752961 = .84247039

TLDR - In 4 trips the chance of a guest catching a cutthroat once in under 4 trips in 0.84.

  3)  D

  4)  D

  5)  B

  6)  B

Step-by-step explanation:

3) A "Pythagorean triple" is a set of 3 integers that could be the sides of a right triangle. The only triangle shown with integer side lengths is choice D.

__

5) The only triangle for which the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the other two sides is choice D.

  11² +2² = (5√5)²

  121 + 4 = 125

__

6) The lengths of sides of each right triangle are 2/3 of those of choice D in problem 4. That is, they are a 7-24-25 triangle, multiplied by 2. That means the height is 24·2 = 48, and the area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(28 m)(48 m) = 672 m² . . . . matches choice B

__

7) The side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. That is, the short leg is half the hypotenuse, a fact stated in A and D. Those true statements make it clear that statement B is false.

About 3 million years ago, the Isthmus of Panama (a narrow strip of land connecting North and South America) formed, dividing marine organisms into Pacific and Caribbean populations. Researchers have examined species of snapping shrimp on both sides of the isthmus. Based on the morphological species concept, there appeared to be seven pairs of species, with one species of each pair in the Pacific and the other in the Caribbean. The different species pairs live at somewhat different depths in the ocean. Using mitochondrial DNA sequences, the researchers estimated phylogenies and found that each of these species pairs, separated by the isthmus were indeed each other's closest relatives. The researchers investigated mating in the lab and found that many species pairs were not very interested in courting with each other, and any that did mate almost never produced fertile offspring. Which process led to the formation of the species pairs of Pacific and Caribbean snapping shrimp
