9 buses.
Explanation:
We divide the number of basketball fans by the number of fans that can be accommodated by the bus. We get 8.4
Since we cannot cut the bus into 0.4 we add another bus so that everyone will get to go.
Another method is
Multiply 8 buses by 34 fans. We get 272 fans will be able to go to a game.
This means that some fans will be left by the bus but our goal is to have everyone go.
And thus we need the 9th bus to carry the remaining 15 fans

A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ration 1 : 3 : 9. How many cups of onion are needed to make

Elanso [62]

Let x be a variable.

Using the ratio and the given number of 117, we can create the following formula:

1x + 3x + 9x = 117, where 3x is the cups of onion

Simplify this equation.

13x = 117

Divide both sides by 13

x = 9

We want to solve for 3x, so multiply both sides by 3

3x = 27

As I started earlier, 3x is how many cups of onions is needed; thus, 27 is our answer. Hope this helps! :)
