You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.
___
We have shown methods using multiplication, division, subtraction, addition. Take your pick.
8.50x+100=308.25
subtract 100 from both sides
8.5x = 208.25
divide 8.5 from both sides
x= 24.5 hours worked
Answer:
0.7 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to subtract both lap times, but before doing so you need to know what 2/5 is in decimal form. To do so, you must do 2 divided by 5, getting 0.4 seconds as it's a fraction converting to decimal. This means Fam swam 29.4 seconds, which instead of 2/5, you have 0.4 as your converted answer, so you would substitute it after 29. Then, you would do 29.40 subtracted by 28.7 and get 0.7 seconds as your answer to find out the difference of their swim times.

Complete Question
A school held several evening activities last month—a music concert, a basketball game, a drama play, and literacy night. The music concert was attended by 250 people. How many people came to each of the other activities?
Attendance at the drama play was 140% of attendance at the concert. How many people came to the drama play?
Answer:
350 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of people that attended a drama play =
Number of people that attended the drama play/Total number of people at the concert × 100
Attendance at the drama play was 140% of attendance at the concert.
The music concert was attended by 250 people
Let the number of people that came to the drama play = x
Hence:
140% = x/250 × 100
140/100 = x/250
Cross Multiply
140 × 250 = 100 × x
x = 140 × 250/100
x = 350 people
Therefore, the number of people that came to the drama play = 350 people
