Given:

Of the 50 students in the cafeteria, 7 have red hair.

Total number of students = 750

To find:

The proportion that could be used to predict the number of students who have red hair.

Solution:

Let x represent the number of students who have red hair.

The ratio of student having red hair to the total number of students are

Ratio_1=\dfrac{7}{50}

Ratio_2=\dfrac{x}{750}

The number of students having red hair is proportional to the total number of students. So, the above ratios are equal.

\dfrac{x}{750}=\dfrac{7}{50}

Multiply both sides by 750.

\dfrac{x}{750}\times 750=\dfrac{7}{50}\times 750

x=7\times 15

x=105

Therefore, the required equation is \dfrac{x}{750}=\dfrac{7}{50} and the number of students who have red hair is 105.

Every day, the Scott Pet Store uses 3 bags of dog food to feed the dogs. For how many days will 1/2 of a bag of dog food last?
nadezda [96]
If you would like to know for how many days will 1/2 of a bag of dog food last, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 day ... 3 bags of dog food
x days = ? ... 1/2 of a bag of dog food

1 * 1/2 = 3 * x
1/2 = 3 * x         /3
x = 1/2 * 1/3
x = 1/6 of a day

The correct result would be 1/6 of a day.
