Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
On Saturday,1/8 of the people who visited were senior citizens,1/8 were infants,1/4 were children,and 1/2 were adults.How many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday? It's has to equal to 32,096 people
we know that
1/8 of people were senior citizen
1/8 were infants
1/4 were children
1/2 were adults
To find out how many of each group visited the zoo on Saturday, multiply the total of people by the fraction of each group
so
<u><em>Verify</em></u>
The sum of the total of each group must be equal to 32,096 people
so
----> is correct
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 17.16 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 17.16 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.16 = 100%.
4. We know, that x is 62.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62.4%
5. Now we have two simple questions:
1) 17.16 = 100%
2) x=62.4%
Where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
17.16÷x=100%÷62.4%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 62.4% of 17.16
17.16÷x=100/62.4%
(17.16÷x)×x=(100÷62.4%)×x
17.16=1.60256410256×x
(1.60256410256) to get x
17.16÷1.60256410256=x
10.70784=x
x=10.70784
Now we have:
62.4% of 17.16=10.70784
So 10.70784 is your answer
Hope this helps :)
Couldnt A) Just be multiplied by 1/1 or is that cheating
finding the product of 2 numbers means that you have to multiply those numbers
when multiplying fractions , numerators are multiplied by numerators and denominators by denominators
therefore product of 3/8 and 16 is 6
next we have to find 2/3 of 6
'of' operator means multiplication
answer is 4
Answer:
The show was 49 minutes long.
1. 6:15 to 7 pm is 45 minutes
