Let's come up with an equation for the numbers. We know that there are 136 faculty members, and there are 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. The equation could look something like this:
(6 * x) + (11 * x) = 136.
First, combine like terms:
6x + 11x = 136
17x = 136
Now, divide both sides by 17.
17x/17 = 136/17
x = 8.
Now, to check, plug in 8 for x in our equation:
(6 * 8) + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + 88 = 136
So to answer the question, they have 48 professors! :)
You didn’t attach the line plot but I’ll do my best.
1 pound = 16 ounces
It says of a pound dog toys, meaning that we will have to do multiplication:
1/2 * 1 pound
= 1/2 * 16 ounces
= 8 ounces
5/8 * 16 ounces
= 10
Next, find the difference:
10 - 8 = 2
The total weight of 5/8 of a pound of dog toys is 2 ounces greater than 1/2 of a pound of dog toys.
Also, the last bit of the question is worded incorrectly. 5/8 > 1/2 right off the bat. I’m not sure who designed the question but I think you should let them know since it would likely confuse individuals who encounter this question. Hope this helps!
