There are 550 students at Martin Middle School. One bundred and eighty- seven students walk to school. what percent of the students walk to school?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
(187)/(550), and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
(187)/(550) = 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))

DF and AC are similar

and

BC and EF are similar sides

So make a proportion

\sf{ (AC)/(DF) = (BC)/(EF) }

Plug in the numbers

\sf{ (9)/(DF) = (15)/(25) }

Cross multiply

\sf{DF * 15 = 9 * 25}

Isolate DF and simplify it

\sf{DF = 15}

And so your final answer is

\boxed{\bf{15 ~centimeters}}

To eliminate all of the fractions in an equation, we can multiply the equation by the least common denominator of all of the fractions in the equation. To find the LCD, we need to find a number that has at least all of the factors of each of the denominators.


To find the LCD of the fractions in this equation, let's look at our denominators, 3 and 6. We can say 3 = 3 and 6 = 2 * 3. By examining this, we can see that our LCD has to have a 3 and 2, since those numbers are found in at least one of the fractions. Thus, our LCD is 3 * 2 = 6.


Now we know to multiply our entire equation by 6. This is solved as shown:

6((2)/(3)x + 7) = 6((5)/(6)) \Rightarrow \boxed{4x + 42 = 5}


Our answer is 4x + 42 = 5.

Sam solved the proportion3 = 5, but she has some mistakes in her solution.
Read her steps carefully, and then answer the questions.

Step 1: (x + 5)1 = 4(x + 2)

What is 1 and 3/4-7/10

Answers

1 (3)/(4) - (7)/(10)
We first have to change the mixed number into a fraction and we do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number and adding the product to the numerator.
It looks something like this:
1 (3)/(4)
4×1=4         (Multiply the denominator and the whole number)
4+3=7         (Add the product and the numerator)
(7)/(4) 
Keep the same denominator 
Now that we have the improper fraction, we can subtract.
(7)/(4) -  (7)/(10)
Now in order to subtract we have to have a common denominator, so lets make both of the denominators 20.
(7)/(4) × (5)/(5)(35)/(20)
(7)/(10) × (2)/(2)(14)/(20)
(35)/(20) -  (14)/(20) =  (21)/(20)
21÷20=1.05 or 1 (1)/(20)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope that helped :)
first turn 1 3/4 into an improper fraction

1x3=3+4=7
7/4-7/10

now make a common denominator

the common denominator is 20 so do 4x5=20 and 10x2=20

do the same to the numerators 7x5=35 and 7x2=14

35/20-14/20

the answer as an improper fraction is 21/20 and as a mixed number it is 1 1/20
