Answer:

A. 90

B. Soccer ball = 30

Basketball = 30

Football = 15

Kickball = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let whole students be 1

Only 15 students are known to order kickball. So the fraction of the number becomes :

1 - ( \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{6} ) \\ 1 -  \frac{5}{6}  =  \frac{1}{6}

So the fraction of students that ordered kick balls is 1/6

Since 1/3 = 2(1/6):

30 students ordered for soccerballs

30 students ordered for basketballs

15 students ordered for footballs and

15 students ordered for kick balls.

Altogether, a total of 90 students were asked

What is the quotient of 4 1/4 / 2 1/5
Snezhnost [94]

The quotient for the given mixed fraction is 1.9318

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that the whole number is multiplied with the denominator and add with it the numerator while the denominator does not change. To convert this fraction 4\frac{1}{4} we multiply 4 with 4 and then add 1 and keep the 4 as the fraction's denominator so we get \frac{17}{4}. Similarly, we get the improper fraction \frac{11}{5} for converting the mixed fraction 2\frac{1}{5} .

Step 2; After conversion, it's just a matter of division. The fraction \frac{17}{4} equals 4.25 while the denominator \frac{11}{5} equals 2.2. Dividing 4.25 by 2.2 we get 1.9318.
