3/4 = x / 340....3 to 4 students = x to 340 students
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(340)
4x = 1020
x = 1020/4
x = 255 <==
or this way.....
3 out of 4 students.....3/4 = 75%
so 75% of 340 = 0.75(340) = 255 <=
1) $375
500 *.25= 125
500-125= 375
2) (5/8)* 32= 20 girls in class
(3/8)* 32= 12 BOYS in class
4) 19+42+X=87
62+X= 87 (add 19 and 42 together )
X=25 ( subtract 87 from 62)
The answer to this is 50 x 10 the 9th power.
Hope this helps :)
2/7 is the simplification form
