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 <=
Answer:
Find out the how much chlorine is in the pool .
To prove
As given
The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.
The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.
i.e
2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water
There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.
As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)
Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.
8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre
= 30283.28 litres
Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres of waters.
As
2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water
2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water
75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .
$15.75
2 x 7.5 = 15
0.10 x 7.5 = 0.75
15 + 0.75 = $15.75
Hope this helped
I think your answer is c but I'm not sure
The perimeter of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by 2 and the width by 2 and adding them together.
P = 2L + 2W
Filling in the information given we can find the width:
16.8 = 2(3.6) + 2W
16.8 = 7.2 + 2W
2w = 16.8 - 7.2
2w = 9.6
w = 9.6 / 2
w = 4.8 in.
