Find the distance 2/3rd from 8 to -4.

1 answer:

4 0

So in total 8+4 would be 12 spaces. Rmr when you calculate distance you can’t subtract a negative. A negative really means backwards not destroyed in terms of distance. So total is 12 spaces.

2/3 of 12 is 8. Think of it like this
2/3=x/12
You could do butterfly or you could realize 3x4=12
So 2x4=8 would be proportional to the ratio we are looking for.

Enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. How many people were enrolled last year?

babymother [125]

Answer:

12,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people that were enrolled last year.

We have been given that enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. We are asked to find the number of people that were enrolled last year.

We can set as equation such that 5% of x equals 600.

$\frac{5}{100}\cdot x=600$
