You can use variables to solve this problem. Lets say that m is men, w is women, and c is children. m+w+c=266
four times as many men as children in ‘math words’ would be 4c=m
twice as many women as children would be 2c=w
what we can do now is plug those in to make everything easier with one variable
4c+2c+c=266
7c=266
c=38 now we have how many children, and we need to plug it back into what we have for women and men.
4c=m 4(38)=m m=152
2c=w 2(38)=w w=76

152 men, 76 women, and 38 children

You are going to create a circle graph to represent some data. How many degrees should a section representing 65 out of a hundre

hjlf

To figure out the degrees, you would create a ratio.

Since there are 360 degrees in your circle, that would be representative to 100 (because both are the total of what you want to find), and x would be representative to what degrees 65 is equal to.

your ratio should look like,

65/100=x/360

cross multiply and get

65(360)=100x

23400=100x

x=234

It looks hard to read like this, but if you write it out on your paper it should make more sense!

It was 96 kilometers from perry to medford. David raced to medford and idled back. If the round trip took 8 hours, what was his

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (192 km) / (8 hours) = 24 km per hour .
