Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Take out common factor, 3 :
3x - 3 = 3(x - 1)
------------------------------------
Answer: 3(x - 1)
------------------------------------
240 is the missing term in the pair of equivalent ratio
3, 15, 75, 375, and here's why:
Basically, it's asking you to take 3, and multiply it by five each time to get a pattern.
1: 3
2: 3*5 = 15
3: 15*5 = 75
4: 75*5 = 375
Add these together:
3 + 15 + 75 + 375 = 468
Your answer is "A)", 468.
