You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate
so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50
And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25
This way you can test all the options
Answer:
54 balloons in each room
Step-by-step explanation: The answer is 54 because the company had 335 balloons, but then 11 exploded, so first you do 335-11=324. Lastly, you have to divide 324÷6, which gives you 54 balloons in each room
I fear that there is an error copying your assignment.
65% of the students walked. Are all of the other students on buses? Are there both public buses AND private buses?
Assuming that you need to know BOTH kinds of buses, try this:
65% of the students walked, so since 100% - 65% = 35% then this means that 35% of the students were on buses.
Since we know that there are 360 more walkers than bus riders, then one equation we know is: 65% of S = 360 + 35% of S (let S = total # of students)
.65 S = 360 + .35 S
<u> - .35 S </u> = <u> - .35 S</u> Subtract .35 S from both sides
<u> .30 S </u> = <u> 360</u> Divide both sides by .30 (or .3)
.30 .30
S = 1,200 so we know that this is the total number of students, but that is not what was asked.
They want to know how many are on buses and specifically how many are on public buses, if I read this correctly.
Since the walkers = 65% of 1,2000 and we know of means TIMES, then
.65 (1,200) = 780 walkers
1,200 total students minus 780 walkers = 420 bus riders
Now, if there is not a misprint and we really have to figure out the public bus riders as compared to the private bus riders, then remember the ratio from above in the question: 4 bus: 3 public buses
Now if I read this right, that means that 3/4ths of the bus riders were on public buses
so 3/4 of 420 means 3/4 times 420 = 3 times 105 = 315 public bus riders (which coincidentally leaves 105 private bus riders, but since they are private we don't know much about them. Ha-Ha..... I made a lame joke.)
So your answer is 315 public bus riders
38= Sum
2= GCF of 18 and 20
From there we can see that because x equals both to a and b, it must be that a = b.
