Answer:
<u>145 people were surveyed</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to answer the question correctly:
Percentage that indicated they preferred walking to running = 90%
2. If 130 people preferred running to walking, how many people where surveyed?
For answering this question, we will use the Rule of Three simple, this way:
x = Number of people surveyed
90 * x = 130 * 100
90x = 13,000
x = 13,000/90
x = 144.44
But we need a whole number for an accurate answer, so we round the value of x to the next whole number.
<u>145 people were surveyed</u>
Answer:
Multiply both sides by 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason you must multiply first is because you generally want to stay away from binomial division, as it is much easier to work without fractions. Once you multiply both sides by 3x + 7, you effectively only have to work with numerators now, instead of both numerators and denominators. After you have shifted by multiplying both sides by 3x + 7, you can isolate x by adding and subtracting from both sides, but you generally what to stay away from dividing variables.
Hope this helps!
Remark
You could convert base two to base 10 and then convert base 10 to base 8. That's the long way. The procedure below is the short way.
Step One
Write the base 2 number in groups of 3 starting from the right and going left
11 100 111
Step Two
Convert the base 2 numbers in groups of 3 to base 8. The largest result will be a 7
11 = 2*1 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
100 = 1*2^2 = 4
111 = 1*2^2 + 1*2 + 1 = 7
