Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}

\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

30x/30=7500\\x=250

5 buses can carry 250 people.

Mia has n pairs of earrings. She receives 3 more pairs of earrings. Which expression represents the number of earrings Mia has n
kvv77 [185]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The expression that would represent the number of earrings Mia has now would be n+3. It should be the sum of n earrings she originally had and the additional 3 earrings. Hope this answers the question.
