Answer:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved
by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
4x = 50 × 60
Divide from both sides
x = 50 × 1.25 = 75
Answer is 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:
It asked for how many 60 shots would score.
You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them
50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5
So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5
Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.
60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5
& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.
Hope it made sense :)
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
rectangle = 8x9 = 72
1/3 0f 72 = 24 (72-24= 48)
1/8 of 48 =6 48-6 =42
red-----24
green-----6
unpainted-----42
24+6+42+=72
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2 = 8
5x = 8 + 2
5x = 10
x = 10/5
x = 2
Answer:
140 individuals were surveyed
42 people are planning on going to the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is missing the information regarding the percentage of people who said that they were going to each of the possible destinations. After a quick google search I've found that, in the original question, 32% of individuals were going to the beach, 15% to the desert, 23% to major cities, and 30% to the mountains.
If 21 people said they were going to the desert, and that corresponds to 15% of the total number of people surveyed, the number of people surveyed is:
140 individuals were surveyed
Since 30% responded "the mountains", the number of people planning on going to the mountains is:
42 people are planning on going to the mountains
