1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

A company had 41 employees in order 980 uniforms for them if they want to give each employee same number of uniforms how many mo
Tema [17]

Answer:

They would have to order 4 more uniforms in order to distribute an equal amount to each employee

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate the number of maximum uniforms that can be given to each employee equally

For this we simply divide the number of uniforms by the number of employees and look only at the whole number

980/41 = 23.92 = 23

we don't round we just take the decimals

now we multiply the number of maximum uniforms that we can give each one by the number of employees

23 * 41 = 943

to the 980 uniforms we subtract the 943

980 - 943 = 37

Calculate how much is left to 37 to reach 41

41 - 37 = 4

This means that they would have to order 4 more uniforms in order to distribute an equal amount to each employee

Aaron wants to make a path to guide guest through the conservation area.He uses rolls of rope to make the path.He uses 3/4 of a
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Aaron needs <u>2 more rolls</u> to complete the path.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total rolls Aaron has = 4

Part of path covered by using \frac{3}{4} of a roll = \frac{1}{8}

So, in order to find the number of rolls required to cover the complete path is given using the unitary method.

Rolls used for \frac{1}{8} of a path = \frac{3}{4}

Therefore, rolls used to cover the whole path is given by dividing the rolls used for one-eighth of the path and the path covered. This gives,

=\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{1}{8}

=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{8}{1}

=\frac{3\times 8}{4\times 1}

=\frac{24}{4}

=6\ rolls

Now, rolls required to complete the path is 6. But Aaron has only 4 rolls.

So, he will need 6 - 4 = 2 rolls more to complete the path.
