A class of 23 students is having a drawing. Each student's name is placed on a piece of paper and then placed in a hat. One name is randomly drawn from the hat. If there are 8 boys in the class, what is the probability that the name drawn is a girl's?

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.

idk you did not give the options or numbers so you cant solve it

the answer is 15 to your question

answer: approximately 2.878

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 11 and pi (3.14) then after you have 34.54. the final step is to divide by 12. the final answer is approximately 2.878
