In a choir, the ratio of boys to girls is 5 to 6. There are 10 boys in the choir. What is the total number of boys and girls in the choir?

5:6 --> 10:12

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to think of this is to provide a perspective: there are 5 boys every time there is 6 girls. So if there is 10 boys, that means there would be 12 girls (because 5 *2 = 10 and 6*2 = 12).

tl:dr: 5 *2 = 10 so 6*2 = 12

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
