Answer: 75 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Skyler goes to a school that has 100 students in it. She asks 40 random students if they like the new 8.30 am start to the day and 30 of them say no they don't like it. This shows that: 30/40 = 3/4 of the students don't like it.

Since the school has 100 students, the number of students that doesn't like the 8.30 a.m start will be:

= 3/4 of 100

= 3/4 × 100

= 3 × 25

= 75

If 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours, then approximately how long does it take 4 workers to paint the same room? Assume the
Olin [163]

It takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours

To find: Time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room

Assume the time needed to paint the room is inversely proportional to the number of worker

time $ \propto \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}\\\\time =k \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

<em><u>3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours</u></em>

Substitute number of workers = 3 and time = 2 hours

time =k \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}\\\\2 = k \times \frac{1}{3}\\\\k = 6

Therefore,

\text {time}=6 \times \frac{1}{\text { number of workers }}

To find time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room, substitute number of workers = 4 in above expression

time = 6 \times \frac{1}{4} = 1.5

Thus it takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room
