Answer:
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Percentage of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 5
Number of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 3
2. How many toddlers are in the class?
We'll solve the question, using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Percentage Toddlers
5 3
100 x
*******************************
5x = 3 *100
5x = 300
x = 300/5
x = 60
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
