In this example, we are to find the actual length of a room based from its length on the map by using ratio and proportion.
For our solution to be more clearer, let us turn the fractions into decimals.
1/4 inch = 0.25 in.
3 3/8 inches = 3.375 in.

So, for every 0.25 inches from the map there will be 12 inches in the room, and what we will find here is that how many inches are there in the room if there are 3.375 inches in the map.

Let x, be the length in the room,
\frac{0.25}{12} = \frac{3.375}{x}
Cross multiply the given fractions and you would get:
0.25x=40.5
x=162

So the length of the room, if the value of it in the map is 3 3/8 inch, is 162 inches.

valina [46]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total population of students will be equal to the sum of both those who wore the silly hat and those who didn't hence

Total students= 74+666=740

Number of students who wore silly hat is given as 74 hence when expressed as a percentage of the total students' population we get that

percentage of the students wore a silly hat=\frac {74\times 100}{740}=10\%

Therefore, 10% of students wore a silly hat last Tuesday
