What you want to do at the beginning is to "Keep-Change-Flip" the fractions. You're going to keep the first fraction the same, change the divide sign to a multiply sign, and flip the second fraction.
Next, you'll have to factor, and then you can cancel out common components.
There are five boys to every three girls in an introductory chinese course. if there are 384 students enrolled in the course, how many are boys?
Answer:
There are 240 boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are five boys to every three girls in an introductory Chinese course. Given that there are 384 students enrolled in total, we want to determine the amount of students which are boys.
Let b represent the number of boys and g girls.
Since the ratio is 5:3, we can write that:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{3} = \frac{b}{g}[/tex]
And since the total number of students is 384:
[tex]b + g = 384[/tex]
From the first equation, cross-multiply:
[tex]5g = 3b[/tex]
Solve for g:
[tex]\displaystyle g = \frac{3}{5} b[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle b + \left (\frac{3}{5} b\right) = 384[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{8}{5} b = 384[/tex]
Solve for b:
[tex]\displaystyle b = \frac{5}{8}\left(384\right) = 240[/tex]
In conclusion, 240 of the total students are boys.

Here are two triangles identical in size.10 cm.The two triangles are overlapped 3 cm 6 cm.What is the area of the blue triangle showing?
Pls I will give Brainliest
Sorry if the picture is too dark :(
Answer:
51 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's ASSUME that the vertical measurements are taken perpendicular to the roughly horizontal baselines.
The three yellow triangles are all similar
the upper small triangle has height 3 and base 6 cm. The ratio of the lengths is 6/3 = 2
This means the medium (overlapping) triangle has lengths 10 - 3 = 7 and 7(2) = 14 cm
Area of the large triangle is ½(14 + 6)(10) = 100 cm²
Area of the overlapping yellow triangle is ½(7)(14) = 49 cm²
Exposed area of the blue triangle is 100 - 49 = 51 cm²
Both triangles have an area of 100 square centimeters and the area of the blue triangle showing is 51 square centimeters.
Based on the information given from statement, we can determine the missing length of the yellow triangle by means of simmilarity ratios, that is:
[tex]\frac{3\,cm}{6\,cm} = \frac{10\,cm}{x}[/tex] (1)
Where [tex]x[/tex] is the base of the yellow triangle, in centimeters.
Now we proceed to find the length base:
[tex]x = \frac{6\,cm}{3\,cm}\times 10\,cm[/tex]
[tex]x = 20\,cm[/tex]
The area of the triangle can be found by means of the following expression:
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]A[/tex] - Area of the yellow triangle, in square centimeters.[tex]b[/tex] - Base, in centimeters.[tex]h[/tex] - Height, in centimeters.If we know that [tex]b = 20\,cm[/tex] and [tex]h = 10\,cm[/tex], then the area of the triangle is:
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (20\,cm)\cdot (10\,cm)[/tex]
[tex]A = 100\,cm^{2}[/tex]
The area of the yellow triangle is 100 square centimeters and the area of the blue triangle is also 100 square centimeters due to congruency. The dimensions of the section of the yellow triangle overlapping the blue triangle are [tex]b = 14\,cm[/tex] and [tex]h = 7\,cm[/tex]. The area of this section is:
[tex]A' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (14\,cm)\cdot (7\,cm)[/tex]
[tex]A' = 49\,cm^{2}[/tex]
And the area of the rest of the blue triangle is:
[tex]A'' = A - A'[/tex] (2)
[tex]A'' = 100\,cm^{2}-49\,cm^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A'' = 51\,cm^{2}[/tex]
In a nutshell, both triangles have an area of 100 square centimeters and the area of the blue triangle showing is 51 square centimeters.

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
(7×2)⁶
when we put a number to the power of something, we need to include the whole number. bit just a part of it.
so, it must be 7⁶×2⁶
just think about the simple example 6², which we could write as (2×3)².
would it be sufficient to e.g. square only one of the factors ?
6² = 36
but e.g. 2×3² = 18. so, that's really not it.
or add the two factors and then square them ?
2+3 = 5. 5² = 25. so, that's not it either.
or multiply the exponent in ?
2×3×2 = 12. so that's not it either.
no, it truly is you need to do the operation to all parts.
2²×3² = 4×9 = 36. yes, that fits.
therefore, B is the right answer.

3)There are 9 colorful socks in a drawer: 3 green, 2
purple,
2 Navy, 1 yellow, and 1 pink. What's the
probability of picking a green putting it on and
then choosing a purple?
Answer:
1/24 chance
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin you would need to find the probability of picking a green sock which would be 3/9; and you could simplify this to 1/3.
After that you need to find the probability of picking a purple sock out of the 8 left, which would provide you with 1/8. To find the probability of both you would multiply 1/8 by 1/3 to find the combined probability which would leave you with 1/24.

[tex]x^2\gt2x-2[/tex]
[tex]x^2-2x+2\gt0[/tex]
You are essentially asking at this point where is the quadratic function greater than 0. To get the interval find the roots. Between the roots the function is guaranteed to be LESS THAN zero. Everywhere else the function is greater than 0.
[tex]x^2-2x+2=0[/tex]
Use Vieta's rule to get the roots,
[tex](x-1)(x-1)=0[/tex]
Both roots are the same so no value is less than 0 which means all values except at the point of root are strictly greater, the point of root is at [tex]x_{1,2}=1[/tex] which means the set for which the quadratic function is greater than 0 is [tex]\mathbb{R}-\{1\}[/tex] "all real numbers except 1".
To convert this into interval notation use all numbers up to 1 but not including and all numbers after 1 but not including,
[tex](-\infty,1)\cup(1,\infty)[/tex]

The argument; if he did not get a good wage, then he must not have studied medicine is valid.
What is valid proof?Let P represent "He studies medicine"
Let Q represent "He gets a good job"
Let R represent "He gets a good wage"
The argument can be written as:
P → Q
Q → R
¬R
∴ ¬P (conclusion: he did not study medicine)
Assume for contradiction that the argument is invalid:
P → Q
Q → R
¬R

Using the slope formula, find the slope of the line through the given points. (4. - 2) and ( - 2, - 2)
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this problem, we have to find the slope, which is rise over run, or how much the line rises and how far forward the line goes.
We find the slope using this formula (slope formula)
m(slope)=[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]
This refers to the second y point minus the first y point, divided by the second x point minus the first x point. Y refers to the y axis, so that is the rise, because it is the difference of height in the line. X refers to the x axis, so that is the run, because it is the difference in how far it travels forward.
Our second y point is -2, our first y point is also -2. Our second x point is -2, and our first y point is 4. Let's plug in our values.
[tex]\frac{-2-(-2)}{-2-4}[/tex]
Let's simplify this so there isn't a double negative.
[tex]\frac{-2+2}{-2-4}[/tex]
Now, let's solve
[tex]\frac{0}{-6}[/tex]
0 divided by -6, is still 0, so there is no slope or the slope is 0. This means that the line is horizontal and the y coordinate doesn't change.

3. A clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides. The
polygon rotates every minute. How much has the polygon rotated
after 12 minutes? Explain your answer with words, a drawing or both-
We are required to find how much the polygon has rotated after 12 minutes
The number of times the polygon has rotated after 12 minutes is 72°
Number of sides of the polygon = 60
The polygon rotates every minute, that is
1 rotation = 1 minutes
12 rotation = 12 minutes
one rotation of the clock is 360°
Number of times the polygon has rotated after 12 minutes = one rotation of the clock / Number of sides of the polygon × number of minutes
= 360°/60 × 12
= 6 × 12
= 72°
