Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reciprocal you have to make the fraction a mixed number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number then adding the numerator, in this case it would give you 16/5. Since the reciprocal is the number that you multiply to get one, if you switch the denominator and the numerator, you get 5/16.

You can check your work by multiplying the numbers together, if it equals one, your reciprocal is correct, if not, then you may have to do it again.

In RSM camp, there are four counselors for every fifty seven students and three teachers for every five counselors. Chapter Refe

max2010maxim [7]

The number of students attending the camp that summer is 380 students

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four counselors for every fifty seven students

There are three teachers for every five counselors

Ms. Rifkin asked all 16 teachers present at the camp to attend a

teachers meeting

To solve this question we will use the ratio

The given is:

1. 4 counselors for every 57 students

2. 3 teachers for every 5 counselors

3. There are 16 teachers

At first let us find the 16 teachers are for how many counselors

∵ 3 teachers : 5 counselors

∵ 16 teachers : x counselors

∴ $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{16}{x}$

By using cross multiplication

∴ 3x = 16 × 5

∴ 3x = 80

Divide both side by 3

∴ x = $\frac{80}{3}$

Then let us find the $\frac{80}{3}$ counselors are for how many students

∵ 4 counselors : 57 students

∵ $\frac{80}{3}$ counselors : y students

∴ $\frac{4}{57}=\frac{80/3}{y}$

By using cross multiplication

∴ 4y = 57 × $\frac{80}{3}$

∴ 4y = 1520

Divide both sides by 4

∴ y = 380 students

The number of students attending the camp that summer is 380 students
