Answer:
3 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 cars are needed to carry 36 students,
<em>12</em><em>c</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>s</em><em> = 36</em>
the number of cars to carry 9 students will be:
xcars = 9
cross the two equations
36x = 12 X 9
36x = 108
x = 108/36
x= 3
Therefore, 3 cars are needed to carry 9 students
OR
12 cars will carry 36 students
so 1 car will carry, (36/12)students
therefore, 1 car will carry 3 students
So, for 9 students,
9students = 9/3 = 3
In quotient your answer would be 70
A fraction with a denominator of 4 that is less than 7/12 miles is 1/4.Let the fraction be x/4. Since this fraction must be less than 7/12 miles, we can write the inequality, x/4 < 7/12.We now solve the inequality for x to obtain, x<7/12(4).
This simplifies to x<7/3
This implies that x<2 1/3
This is distance so x is positive.
So we can choose x=1 or x=2.
Therefore the possible fractions include 1/4 or 2/4.
In the simplest form, the most appropriate fraction is 1/4
