Answer:
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Percentage of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 5
Number of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 3
2. How many toddlers are in the class?
We'll solve the question, using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Percentage Toddlers
5 3
100 x
*******************************
5x = 3 *100
5x = 300
x = 300/5
x = 60
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
900/6000
which is the same as 900÷6000
900÷6000= 0.15
0.15 as a percent in 15%
Answer:
x= 5/4 ; y= -7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I will solve your system by substitution.
(You can also solve this system by elimination.)
3x+y=2;5x−y=8
Step: Solve3x+y=2for y:
3x+y+−3x=2+−3x(Add -3x to both sides)
y=−3x+2
Step: Substitute−3x+2foryin5x−y=8:
5x−y=8
5x−(−3x+2)=8
8x−2=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
8x−2+2=8+2(Add 2 to both sides)
8x=10

Okay. so we need 15 2/5 pound bags. We'll calculate how many pounds that actually comes to. Our problem is 15x2/5. Using cross simplification, our problem becomes 3x2. 3x2=6. We need 6 pounds. That means that we must have 6 1-pound bags to fit with no leftovers.
