1. the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls on the swim team
is 4: 2. if there are 24 athletes on the swim team, how many more boys
than girls are there?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio 4 + 2 = 6 parts

Divide 24 by 6 to find the value of one part of the ratio

24 ÷ 6 = 4 ← value of 1 part, thus

number of boys = 4 × 4 = 16

number of girls = 2 × 4 = 8

Hence there are 8 more boys than girls

this is answer of 144 cubic meters

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
