Let's see here. Sarah is one person. Her three friends are three more. That means 4 people are decorating picture frames. However, we only have 3 rolls of ribbon! We can give an entire roll to each person, but one person would have no roll to decorate with! What do we do? We have to divide this. By definition, divide means to separate something(in this case, ribbon rolls) into (equal) parts. So, we must divide them so everyone gets an EQUAL ribbon roll length.
divide 111 with 300
111/300 = 0.37
Change the decimal to a percentage. Move the decimal point to the right two place values: 0.37 = 37%
Reason:
0.37 = 37/100 = 37%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37% is your answer
hope this helps
When it says x and y are directly related it means that x is multiplied by something to get y. To solve you divide y by x which is 840 divided by 6. Which is 140 then you multiply and solve so the y value for 5 is 700. The x value for 420 is 3 and the y value for 4 is 560.
