Answer:
609 males
Step-by-step explanation:
A city council organized a marathon race to promote good health.
Let the number of
Females = x
Males = y
There were 3 times as many female participants as male participants in the marathon.
3x = y
If the total number of participants was 812,
x + y = 812..... Equation 1
We substitute 3x for y in Equation 1
x + 3x = 812
4x = 812
x= 812/4
x = 203 females
Solving for y
3(203) = 609 males
The number of males participants = 609
63.6
63.625
about 27 hours
actual number: 26.6666666667
80 divided by 3
