21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of juniors = 148

No. of seniors = 272

Total = 148+272 = 420 students

3 chaperones = 60 students

1 chaperone = \frac{60}{3}=20\ students

Ratio of chaperon to students = 1:20

Let,

x be the number of chaperons for 420 students.

Ration of chaperones to students = x:420

Using proportion

Ratio of chaperones to students :: Ratio of chaperons to students

1:20::x:420

Product of mean = Product of extreme

20*x=420*1\\20x=420\\

Dividing both sides by 20

\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{420}{20}\\x=21

21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.

Camillo needs 2,400 oz of jelly for the food challenge. If 48 oz of jelly cost $3.84, how much will Camillo spend on jelly? Expl
olga2289 [7]

My Answer:

Well he will spend I a lot I will say. But the steps to get to find out the answer are not that hard. The first step is to find out how much he needs. For this challenge he need 2,400 oz of jelly. Next we will divide that number by 48 oz. That number is how many jellies you will get if you spend $3.84. When you divide that you will get 50. Now you will multiply 50 and 3.84. After you multiply that you will get $192. That is how much Camillo is spending on jellies. I hope this has answerd your question

Another possible answer:

First, find the unit price of the jelly. The unit cost of jelly is $0.08 per ounce. Next, find the total price of 2,400 oz by multiplying the unit price by the quantity. The total price is $192.

4x = 28

x = 28/4
