Answer 2

Answer:

the maximum number of teenagers who live in geotown is 263

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

you can solve this using a simple rule of three

Let

210 teenagers ⇒ (4/5) of all teenagers

x teenagers      ⇒ 1 of all teenagers

$\frac{210\ teenagers }{(4/5) of\ all\ teenagers}=\frac{x\ teenagers}{1\ all\ the\ teenagers} \\ solve for x\\x=\frac{1\ all\ the\ teenagers*210\ teenagers }{(4/5) of\ all\ teenagers}\\x=\frac{210}{(4/5)}\teenagers\\ x=\frac{210*5}{1*4}\\x=\frac{1050}{4}\\x=262.5$ teenagers

we need take the whole number because the unit is teenagers

x=263

the maximum number of teenagers who live in geotown is 263

Have a good day
