Divide 12 by 72. this equals 6. then multiply. 7x6=47 3x6=18 and 5x6=30 there we go!
Answer:
222 fence posts
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the log is 20 m long, correct to the nearest metre and has to be cut into fence posts which must be 90 cm long, correct to the nearest 10 centimetres, there can be x fence posts 90 cm long.
So, we have x × 90 cm = 20 m
x × 0.9 m = 20 m
x = 20 m/0.9 m
x = 222.22
x ≅ 222 fence posts
So, the largest number of fence posts that can possibly be cut from the log is 222 fence posts.
Answer:
684
Step-by-step explanation:
Using proportions (equivalent ratios), we can find the number of students that make up the 57% out of the total number of people:
Cross-multiply: 100x = (57)(1200) or 100x = 68,400
Divide: 100x/100 = 68,400/100
Solve for x: x = 684 students
