(PLEASE HELP) A teacher surveyed a sample of students from Lake Middle School. He asked the students where they'd like to go for

a field trip. He recorded these results:
• 80 chose the aquarium.

• 60 chose the science center.

• 30 chose the planetarium.

• 40 chose the farm.

The teacher wants to figure out the relative frequency of a student choosing the aquarium. He'll then estimate how many students out of all 1000 at the school are likely to choose the aquarium.

(he surveyed 210 students and about 38% of them chose the aquarium)

Write and solve a proportion that the teacher can use to estimate how many students in the whole school would choose the aquarium.

Answer:

relative frequency of choosing aquarium is 80/210

about 400 students out of 2000 will choose aquarium

Step-by-step explanation:

relative frequency of choosing aquarium is 80/210

<u>proportion</u>:

a = students who choose aquarium

80/210 = a/1000

210a = 80000

a = 80000/210 which is close to 80000/200 which equals 800/2 or about 400 students

Help me out 3 i need some help :(
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

Since only the first session is $10, it wouldn't be 10x.

The second session is $5, and it will never be $10 again, so $5 sessions are unlimited which would be 5x.

So the answer is y = 10 + 5x

A local hamburger shop sold a total of 712 burgers on Tuesday

There are 62 more cheeseburgers than hamburgers

let cheeseburers = c
let hamburgers = h

h + 62 = c
c + h = 712

Plug in h + 62 for c

(h + 62) + h = 712
2h + 62 = 712
2h + 62 (-62) = 712 (-62)
2h = 650
2h/2 = 650/2
h = 325

There are 325 hamburgers sold on Tuesday

c = 325 + 62
c = 387

<em>There are 387 chesseburgers sold on tuesday </em>(in case you were wondering)


hope this helps

There are 550 students at Martin Middle School. One bundred and eighty- seven students walk to school. what percent of the stude
Anvisha [2.4K]
For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
\frac{187}{550}, and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
\frac{187}{550} = 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))
