300 times 0.60(60%) = 180.
Answer: 180
If 60% of the painters is 12, then 10% of the painters is 2, and therefore there are 20 painters.
There are 490 workers
3/4 = 210/x
Cross multiply, 210x4 and 3x
You're then left with 3x = 840, divide both sides by 3
This answer is 280 and represents the amount of female workers
Then just add 210 and 280, your answer is 490. Hope that helps!
Answer: 26
Explanation: 1 5/8 is equal to 13/8. 8/8 is equal to 1, and 8 plus 5 is 13. 13/8 is an improper fraction, but we will change that later. Since there are sixteen boxes, we must do 13/8 times 16, which is 208/8 if we do the math. 208 divided by 8 is 26.
