Answer: 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
so we know that 24% of the students buy their lunch at the cafeteria, and 190 students brownbag.
well, 100% - 24% = 76%, so the remainder of the students, the one that is not part of the 24% is 76%, and we know that's 190 of them.
since 190 is 76%, how much is the 24%?
![\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190&76\\ x&24 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190}{x}=\cfrac{76}{24}\implies 4560=76x \\\\\\ \cfrac{4560}{76}=x\implies 60=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total amount of students}}{190+60\implies 250}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccll%7D%20amount%26%5C%25%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20190%2676%5C%5C%20x%2624%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B190%7D%7Bx%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B76%7D%7B24%7D%5Cimplies%204560%3D76x%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B4560%7D%7B76%7D%3Dx%5Cimplies%2060%3Dx%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Btotal%20amount%20of%20students%7D%7D%7B190%2B60%5Cimplies%20250%7D)
Answer:
The last choice: 68/5 - 22/5 = 9 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve each problem:
9 3/7 = 10 3/7
The fractions are the same so look at the whole numbers.
Does 9 equal 10? No, it doesn't so this is a false statement.
332/4 = 1/83
Simplify 332/4:
332/4 = 83/1
83 does not equal 1/83 so this is a false statement.
37/5 = 5 2/5
Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:
7 2/5 = 5 2/5
These numbers do not equal each other so this is a false.
68/5 - 22/5 = 9 1/5
Subtract the numerators on the left side of the equation:
46/5 = 9 1/5
Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:
9 1/5 = 9 1/5
These numbers equal each other so this is a true statement!
