There are 12 girls on the swim team. they make up 48% of the students on the team. how many boys are on the swim team?

There are 13 boys on the team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since 48% of the students are 12 girls.

100%-48% = 52% are the rest of the team (boys)

Now we have to write a proportion:

12 girls are 48% of the team: 12 girls /48%  

x boys are 52% of the team : x boys / 52%

12/48 = x /52

12/48 (52) =x

x =13 boys

There are 13 boys on the team.

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
