Answer: 24 counselors

Step-by-step explanation: Our first step in this problem is to write down the unit ratio that is involved. In this case, it's campers/counselors.

Next, we set up our proportion.

We know that at this summer camp, there are 7 campers for every 2 counselors so we have 7/2 and we're asked how many counselors are at the summer camp if there are 84 campers so that's 84/x.

Notice that the 84 campers must go on the top of the second ratio because our unit ratio tells us that we put <em>campers</em> over <em>counselors.</em>

<em />

Solving from here, we use the means-extremes property

to get (7)(x) or 7x equals (2)(84) or 168.

So we have 7x = 168.

Now dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we find that <em>x = 24</em>.

So, there are 24 counselors for 84 campers at the summer camp.

Answer:

24 counslers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply break down the equation.

We can start by finding how many times 7 goes into 84. 84/7 is 12. Now their are 12 groups of 7 and their needs to be two at each. All we have to do is multiply 2 by twelve and you've got yourself an answer.

Have A great day! :)

Three friends Steve, Jake and Jodie shared a pizza. Steve ate 2/5 of the pizza and Jake ate 1/4
nlexa [21]
Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.

By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.

x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20

The answer is 7/20.

You sell lemonade for $2 per cup and orange juice got $3 per cup. You sell a total of 100 cups for $240. How cups of lemonade an
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

lets see

if we sell 100 cups of lemonade that would make 200 dollars NOT ENOUGH

if we sell 100 cups of orange juice that would make 300 TOO MUCH

meaning we have the find the right one

lets say if we sell 80 lemonade cups we would make 160 then have 20 orange juice which would make 60 and 160+60= 220 so not enough either

this means we can't have as much lemonade

lets try 75 cups of lemonade

lets say if we sell 50 lemonade cups we would make 100 then have 50 orange juice which would make 150 and 150+100= 250 so too much

lets try 55 cups of lemonade

lets say if we sell 55 lemonade cups we would make 110 then have 45 orange juice which would make 135 and 110+135= 145

sooo close

try 60

60*2-120 40*3-120

120*120= 240
