14x Is the answer Because 7 times two is fourteen and plus four (X) would be sixteen then subtracted by two so it would be 14x
26 < 54
26 is less than 54
If all 22 tables had 6 people, there would be 132 people seated. There are 13 more than that, so 13 tables have 7 people.
To find the total distance, Divide distance already walked by percentage:
8 / 0.55 = 14.55 km
She already walked 8 so now subtract:
14.55 - 8 = 6.55 km left to walk
To start this problem, what we need to do is try to simplify the fraction into one we might know already. The best way to go about doing this is to see if we can divide the top and bottom by any of the same numbers.
We can divide 9 by 1, 3, and 9
We can divide 12 by 1, 3, 4, and 12
Looking back over the numbers, we can see that both 9 and 12 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both of them by 3, we will get a new fraction! This fraction will be 3/4.
Our next step is to see if we know what 3/4 is. I know 1/4 is .25 because the coin called a quarter is 25 cents, so if I had 3 quarters, I would have 75 cents, so I know know that 9/12 = 3/4 = .75!
