There are 4 lunch choices in a school cafeteria: Salad, Pizza, Spaghetti, and Sub Sandwiches. The percentage of students that chose salad is 15%. If 45 students chose salad, what is the total number of students that ate lunch? A) 150 B) 200 C) 250 D) 300
@indigochild
45/.15
D, 300 students
which would yeild 300
yea i did the math lollz..thanks..
If a is a negative number and b is a negative number, which expression is always negative? A) a(b) B) a ÷ b C) a - b D) a + b
this is the setup x is the number of students total (x)(.15) = 45 divide both side by .15
think about this one...
i did n i chose c and it was incorrect
go through all the options and tell me which ones you think might make sense
B
A) a(b) a negative number times a negative number is a positive! so this is wrong. B) a ÷ b a negative number divided by a negative number is also positive! also wrong. C) a - b a negative number minus a negative number is the equivalent to addition, so this is wrong, because there is a possibility of the answer being positive. D)a + b a negative number plus a negative number is a bigger negative number! so this is the answer!! (:
yup, its D. one way to approach this is to try using some example numbers
omg soo true..that was soo easy.. Describe what happens to a number when you divide it by 1/4 . A) The new number is twice the original number. Eliminate B) The new number is 4 times the original number. C) The new number is 1 4 of the original number. D) The new number is 1 2 of the original number.
test this one out. dividing it by 1/4 is just a complicated way of saying dividing by 4 lol so lets use the number 16. 16/4 is 4. A)The new number is twice the original number. 4 is not 2 times bigger than 16 B)The new number is 4 times the original number. 4 is not 4 times bigger than 16 C)The new number is 1/4 of the original number. 4 IS 1/4 of 16. D) The new number is 1/2 of the original number. half of 16 is not 4 The answer is C (:
i put that in but that was the inccorect answer
