Answer:
3 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 cars are needed to carry 36 students,
<em>12</em><em>c</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>s</em><em> = 36</em>
the number of cars to carry 9 students will be:
xcars = 9
cross the two equations
36x = 12 X 9
36x = 108
x = 108/36
x= 3
Therefore, 3 cars are needed to carry 9 students
OR
12 cars will carry 36 students
so 1 car will carry, (36/12)students
therefore, 1 car will carry 3 students
So, for 9 students,
9students = 9/3 = 3
She was correct to multiply .75 by .15 to get .1125, but she forgot to add that value to .75 to get the total amount of fabric needed.
The answer is x = -2 you move the all x to one side and all numbers to the other side. then divide to find x
