Answer:
450 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s = number of students
1/2 are Americans 1/2s are Americans
s -1/2s = number of students left
1/2 s = number of students left
1/3 of the students left are Europeans
1/3 (1/2s) = 1/6s are Europeans
The rest are Australians = 150
Students = Americans + Europeans + Australians
s = 1/2s + 1/6s + 150
Combine like terms
s = 1/2*3/3 *s + 1/6s +150
s = 3/6s + 1/6s +150
s = 4/6s + 150
Subtract 4/6s from each side
s -4/6s = 150
6/6s - 4/6s = 150
2/6s = 150
1/3s = 150
Multiply each side by 3
3* 1/3s = 150*3
s = 450
There are 450 students
answer c. none of the above
You multiply straight across, and one number is a fraction and the other is not.
There's 60 min, so 1/8 of 60
60/8= 7.5 minutes in 1/8 of 60
