Mr. Jacobs has 5 math classes. He teaches a total of 32 boys and 40 girls. 2 points What is the ratio of girls to the total number of students? (Not in simplest
form)
32 to 40
40 to 72
+
40 to 32
32 to 72

the correct answer is $7.38

step-by-step explanation:

they would have to work 32 hours.

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points

its less than 713.21 but greater than 5.2
