Out of 460 students, 60% have pets. How many of the students have pets?

1 answer:

3 0

In order to find the number, we will need to set it up in an equation. In total, there are 460 students while 60% of them have pets. Lets set that up.
460(60%)
In order to correctly do this, we will need to transfer 60% into a decimal, which is .6. Now we will rewrite it.
460(.6)
This now can be represented by the number 276.Since we know that 276 is 60% of 460, The total number of students that have pets will be 276.

Jim drove 436 miles using 16 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many limes would he drive using 14 gallons of gas?

The ratio here is 16:436.
The easiest way to solve this is finding how many miles Jim can drive using just 1 gallon. We can do this by dividing both sides of the ratio by 16.

16÷16 is 1
436÷16 is 27.25
so our new ratio is 1 gallon:27.25 miles.

next we simply multiply both sides by 14.
1x14=14
27.25x14=381.5 miles :)
