Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete found 5/6 of a party sand which in the refrigerator. He took 1/2 of the 5/6 of the sand which to his neighbors.

This is calculated as:

1/2 × 5/6

= 5/12

Hence, he took 5/12 of the sand

How much of the original sand which did pete take to his neighbors.

Let the original sand be represented as 1

Hence:

5/6 = 5/12 sand

1 = x

Cross Multiply

5/6x = 1 × 5/12

x = 5/12 ÷ 5/6

x = 5/12 × 6/5

x = 1/2

Therefore, pete took 1/2 of the original sand to his neighbors.

Hello!

First you have to find the area of the space

300 * 500 = 150000

Next you have to find the space 5 people take up

5 * 5 = 25

Divide these two numbers

150000 / 25 = 6000

multiply this by the amount of people take up that space

6000 * 5 = 30000

The answer is D)30,000 people

Hope this helps!
