Question

A survey of Mrs. Ramirez's students showed that 30

Answer 1

Answer: 480

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a ratio for this!

We have:

$\frac{number of hamburgers}{total students}$= $\frac{new number of hamburgers}{new number of students}$

We can use substitution to input the information we already know:

$\frac{12}{30}$ = $\frac{x}{1200}$

Using cross multiplication, we get:

1 200(12) = 30x

14,400 = 30x

$\frac{14,400}{30}$=$\frac{30x}{30}$

x = 480

Hope this helps! :)
