the ratio of pens to pencils that are used by Woodlands middle school students is 3 to 2 if their is a total of 160 middle school students how many of them use pencils

Number of students that use pen= 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ratio pens to pencil= 3:2

First, we need to calculate the proportion of pens and pencils in this middle school:

Pens= 3/5= 0.6

Pencil= 2/5= 0.4

Now, we can determine the number of students that uses pens:

Number of students that use pen= 160*0.6

Number of students that use pen= 96

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?
