Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors

1/4 of the students preferred red.

This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4

1/8 of the students preferred blue.

This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8

The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes

x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8

3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8

if 15 students prefer green, then

3x/8 = 15

3x = 120

x = 120/3 = 40 students

Mr.rodrigues invests half his money in land, a tenth in stocks and a twentieth in bonds . He puts the remaining 35,000 in his sa
Natali5045456 [20]
Let's say <span>Mr.rodrigues's total amount of money is x. 1/2 of his money is in land, 1/10 of his money is in stocks, and 1/20 of his money is in bonds. The remaining is in his savings. Therefore, 1-1/2-1/20-/10 = fraction of money in savings account = 35/100 = 7/20. If 7/20 of his money =35000, then we can say that (7/20)x=35000, and 35000*20=7x, then getting (35000*20/7)=x, which equals (5000*20)=100,000 dollars.</span>

Crazy boy [7]

Given:

The given table represents the ingredient need to make 4 muffins.

To find:

The amount of flour needed to make 12 muffins.

Solution:

We have, the data for 4 muffins.

From the given table it is clear that,

Flour need for 4 muffins = 250 g

Flour need for 1 muffins = \dfrac{250}{4} g

Flour need for 12 muffins = \dfrac{250}{4}\times 12 g

                                          = 250\times 3 g

                                          = 750 g

So, 750 g flour is need to make 12 muffins.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
