Transgenic (GMO) Tomatoes The use of pesticides to control insects costs billions of dollars every year. Genetically modifi ed organisms (GMOs) are an attempt to reduce this cost. Tomato plants that are genetically modifi ed can make proteins that are poisonous to the insects that feed on them. Using these GMO tomatoes would reduce the need for the chemical control of insects.

197 students (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

first I divided 11 by 114 to find out how much girls there are to every one boy and my answer was 10.36 (rounded to the nearest 2 d.p).

next I times it by eight according to the ratio given, my answer was 83 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

finally, I just added 114 and 83 together to get the total number of students and my answer to that was 197 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

hope it helped
