Answer:
40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to go about this is to use benchmark percentages.
For baseball, 25% of 800 people chose that, so we can do 800/4 to get 200, so 200 students chose baseball
For basketball, we could do 800/5 but that isn't mental math, so we can do 10% of 800 is 80 and 80*2=160. So 40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.
Answer:
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'd' be the distance covered
Let x be the speed of the rivers current
Speed upstream = 15-x
speed downstream = 15+x
Time = distance / speed
time upstream = 
time downstream = 
the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream
= 
divide both sides by d
= 
cross multiply


Add 2x on both sideds

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

x=5
Speed of river's current = 5 mph
You can say 8/10 = 80/100 ⇒ 80/100 is bigger than 79/100 :)))
