8 x 64 = (8 x 60) + (8 x 4)=
Answer: 460 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, let the total number of students that attend I.S. 59 be represented by x.
Since we've been given the information that 230 signed up for the school picnic which was 50% of all students in the school. Then, the students in the school will be:
= 50% of x = 230
0.5 × x = 230
0.5x = 230
x = 230/0.5
x = 460
Therefore, 460 students attend the school.
The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.
Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.
One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:
34 - 11 = 23
The other number is 23.
Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:
11 + 23 = 34
34/2 = 17.
Subtract the number she completed from what she had left to paint originally.
The fractions have different denominators so first step is to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.
23/25 can be rewritten as 92/100
Now you have 78 21/100 - 34 92/100
Because 21/100 is smaller than 92/100 subtract 1 whole number from 78 and rewrite 1 as 100/100 and add that to the fraction.
78 21/100 becomes 77 121/100
Now subtract :
77 121/100 - 34 92/100
77-34 = 43
And 121/100 - 92/100 = 29/100
Combine to get 43 and 29/100
