Step-by-step explanation:
A) width × length = area
300 ft × l = 48000 sq ft
B) l = 48000 ÷ 300
l = 160 ft
We can rewrite this problem as:
What is 60% of 35?
"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 60% can be written as
60
100
.
When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".
Finally, lets call the number of members we are looking for "m".
Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for
m
while keeping the equation balanced:
m
=
60
100
×
35
m
=
2100
100
m
=
21
21
members must be present to have a vote.

Answer:
110 yards of string
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting the feet of the string of 1 balloon to yard
1 foot = 1/3 yard
6 feet = x
x = 6 × 1/3 yard
x = 2 yard
Hence 1 balloon uses 2 yard of string
Since:
1 balloon = 2 yard of string
55 ballons = x
x = 55 × 2 yard of string
x = 110 yards of string
Hence, for 55 balloons he would need 110 yards of string.
