Hello! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Because we are looking for the whole, which is the total amount of visitors on a Saturday, set the proportion up like this: 144/x = 60/100. This is because we are looking for the total amount of visitors, and we know that 144 is 60% of x number of visitors. Cross multiply the values in order to get 14,400 = 60x. Now, divide each side by 60 to isolate the "x". 14,400/60 is 240. x = 240. The art museum had 240 visitors that Saturday.

One strategy is to use ratios.

60% : 100% = 144 students : 240 total visitors

SCALE FACTOR: Divide 144 students by 60 percent which gives you 2.4 
Use the scale factor to multiply the missing term by the term that is matching with it.
So in this case 100% x 2.4 

ANSWER: 240 TOTAL VISITORS

1. Explain the rule to solve - 15 + 4. Then write you answer.
mestny [16]
1) the rule for #1 is is to subtract the small number from the big number so (15-4) (get rid of all the signs when doing this see how i took away the sign from 15) the answer is then 11 but you pit the sign of the bigger number since 15 is the bigger number and it has the negative sign you put the negative sign on 11 so the answer for 1 is -11

2) to solve -3*-5 you have to realize that they are both negative and the rule of multiplying negative integers is that a negative times a negative = a postive (weird but those are the rules) so -3*-5=15

Given that 35.8 x 4.23= 151.434<br>write down a division sum with an answer of 423.​
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

  151434/358 = 423

Step-by-step explanation:

Every product with non-zero factors can be written as an equivalent division relation.

  a·b = c   ⇒   a = c/b

Here, we have 35.8 × 4.23 = 151.434. This can be written as the equivalent ...

  4.23 = 151.434/35.8

We can multiply this by 100 to get a division relation with a quotient of 423:

  423 = 15143.4/35.8

If we want, we can move the decimal points another place to the right to get ...

  151434/358 = 423
