well, in short, the students and chaperones are at a 2 : 9 ratio, and we know there are 171 students, how many chaperones then, so long they maintain a 2:9 ratio?
Answer:
{16, +infinity}
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number with n
Required
Find the solution set
From the question, we have that;
4½n - 9½ > 62.5
Convert all numbers to decimal
4.5n - 9.5 > 62.5
Add 9.5 to both sides
4.5n - 9.5 + 9.5 > 62.5 + 9.5
4.5n > 72
Multiply both sides by 2
2(4.5n) > 72 * 2
9n > 144
Multiply both sides by ⅑
⅑ * 9n > 144 * ⅑
n > 16
This implies that n ranges to infinity from positive 16;
Hence, the correct answer is {16, +infinity}
