Answer:

150 people would have had the virus if 360 were screened

Step-by-step explanation:

Using direct proportion

5:12 = X:360

X = (360 x 5) ÷ 12 = 150

Hence 150 people would have had the virus if 360 were screened

Answer:

If 360 people were screened, then 150 people would have the virus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that 5 out of 12 people screened have developed the Cocacola virus, if 360 people where screened, the 5/12 of 360 people would have the virus.

5/12 of 360

= (5/12) × 360

= 150

Therefore, 150 people would have the virus.
