Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2+1/2=2.5=3/2
1+5/16=1 5/16=21/16
3/2*21/16=1 31/32
There's an infinite number of ways we can rewrite 16 3/4, some of them being:
16 3/4
16 6/8
16 12/16
16 24/32
16.75
67/4
335/20
670/40
etc.
I hope it will help you ;)
39/120 = x / 1800....39 choc. chip to 120 students = x choc. chip to 1800 students
now we cross multiply because this is a proportion
(120)(x) = (39)(1800)
120x = 70200
x = 70200/120
x = 585 <===
or u could do it this way as well...
39 out of 120 picked chocolate chip....
39/120 = 0.325 = 32.5%....so 32.5% chose chocolate chip.
32.5% of 1800 = 0.325(1800) = 585 <==
