hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

1200 students at the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of students at the school

50% ride the bus

600 students ride the bus

x*50% = 600

Changing to decimal form

.50x = 600

Divide each side by .5

.50x/.5 = 600/.5

x =1200

Simplify the following expression:

Phantasy [73]

$\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2} }$

To begin, we can simplify the expression's denominator by finding a common denominator between the denominators of the fractions in the denominator. To make them compatible, we can convert $\frac{5}{2}$ into $\frac{10}{4}$ :

$\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{5}{2}( \frac{2}{2}) } = \frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} }$

Next, we can simplify:

$\frac{4}{ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{10}{4} } = \frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}$

Finally, to cancel the denominator within the denominator, we can multiply the whole expression by $\frac{4}{4}$ , or 1:

$\frac{4}{ -\frac{9}{4}}* \frac{4}{4} = -\frac{16}{9}$

The expression simplifies to $-\frac{16}{9}$ , or $-1 \frac{7}{9}$ as a mixed number.
