Let the number of students who are in the play be 'x'

Total number of students = 28

So number of students who are not in the play are 28 - x

The ratio of number of student in a play to the number of students not in the play = 2 : 5

\frac{x}{28 - x} = \frac{2}{5}

Cross multiply

5x = 2(28 - x)

5x = 56 - 2x

Add + 2x on both sides, we get

5x + 2x = 56 - 2x + 2x

7x = 56

Divide both side by 7, to find x

\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{56}{7}

x = 8

So number of students who are in the play = 8

And number of students who are not in the play = 28 - x = 28- 8 = 20

Need help again math 7th grade ​

Answer: 1/2 as a fraction

.5 as a decimal

Step-by-step explanation: The probability of them rolling a number would be 3/6 or simplified 1/2 because if there is a 6 sided dice the denominator would be 6 and there are 3 odd numbers on the dice which are 1,3,and 5 so if u have to simplify it would be 1/2 if not 3/6. Also 1/2 as a decimal would be .5
