In a class 3/5 of the pupils are boys. If there are 24 girls, how many boys are there in the class ?​

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of pupils in the class , then

x + 24 = x ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction )

3x + 120 = 5x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

120 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

60 = x

Then

number of boys = × 60 = 3 × 12 = 36

a

step-by-step explanation: a

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
