The total number of students in the school is calculated as; 600 students

<h3>How to find fraction of a total?</h3>

Usually, some figures are expressed as a fraction of a whole as depicted in this case. Thus, when we are given a fraction of a whole to be equal to a particular figure, we will just cross multiply to get the total number.

We are told that;

Number of students that play a team sport at Lincoln high school = 225

Now, we are told that the number above represents a fraction of 3/8 of the total students in that school.

Thus, if the total number of students in the school is x, then we can say that;

(3/8)x = 225

Multiply both sides by 8 to get;

3x = 1800

x = 1800/3

x = 600 students

Thus, we can conclude that if two hundred and twenty five students play a team sport at Lincoln high school and these students represent 3/8 of the total, then we can say that the total number of students in the school is 600 students.

On farm there are 200 cows from those 200 cows there are 150 cows that can give milk .in one corral there are 20 cows. How many

LiRa [457]

Here the two samples should be comparable .

The total number of cows in the farm = 200

the total number of cows giving milk = 150

the total number of cows in corral = 20

Suppose total number of cows giving milk in corral = x

The ratio of the total number of cows present to the total number of cows giving milk should be same in farm and corral

so : 200 = 20

------- -------

150 x

now we do cross multiplication :

200 x = 150* 20

200x = 3000

x= 3000/200

x= 15

SO we expect 15 cows in corral should be giving milk .

Answer : 15

LiRa [457]

A dot plot or for chart is a statistical plot consisting of data points that are plotted on a scale using dots.

Your information is incomplete. Therefore, an overview of a dot plot will be given. A dot plot is a data visualization where the day points are plotted as dots on the graph.

Dot plots are used for relatively small data sets. It uses the dots to show where the data values in the distribution are.

Write a quotient of integers that is not a real number

ivanzaharov [21]

A quotient of integers that is not a real number is; 40/22 = 1.818181818.

According to the question;

We are required to write a quotient of integers which is not real number.

In essence, by considering integers, 40 and 22; we have;

40/22

= 20/11.

= 1.818181818 .

The result, 1.818181818 is therefore not a real number.
