Question

The number that rode in columns was 3 2/3 times the number that rode in rows. If 2200 rode in columns, how many rode in rows?

Answer 1

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Number that rode in columns = $3\frac{2}{3}$ times the number that rode in rows.

       2200 rode in columns

Unknown:

Number of people that rode in rows = ?

Solution:

  Let the number of people that rode in columns  = C

   Let the number of people that rode in rows  = R

                 C = $\frac{11}{3}$R

Number of people that rode in rows  = 2200;

            2200 =  $\frac{11}{3}$R

             11R  = 2200 x 3

                R  = $\frac{2200 x 3}{11}$

                R = 200 x 3

               R  = 600

Number of people that rode in rows  = 600
