Answer is #3
add up all the x’s
This is a proportion problem.
Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.
1/3 x = 20 inches
x = 6 2/3 inches
Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.
Check it.
6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)
20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)
60/3 = ? (divide)
20 inches. Yes, it checks.
2014⇒2277 athletes
2013⇒2070 athletes.
x=number of athletes in 2013
110% of x=2277
(110/100x=2277
x=(2277*100)/110=2070
2012⇒2300 athletes.
x=number of athletes in 2012
90% of x=2070
(90/100)x=2070
x=(2070*100)/90=2300
Answer: 2300 athletes were signed up for a spring sport in 2012.
