Question

The ratio of men to women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. There are 204 men. How many workers are there?

Answer 1

Answer choices?

Answer 2

It's 3 men to 4 women.
3 out of 7 are men.
204 = 3/7 of the total
68 = 1/7 of the total
The total is 476.

Answer 3

3/4=204/x

3x=816

x=272 (that is the number of female employees)

204+272=476 total number

Answer 4

Did this help?

Answer 5

I got 676 somehow.

Answer 6

lol, no. :)

Answer 7

it helped me bro thanks (:

Answer 8

No problem! :D

Answer 9

Proportions.
3/4=204/x , where x is women
x=272
Add and get 576 (not 676)

@Saphira_Shapiro The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and its width. The perimeter is 28 meters and its length is 2 meters more than twice its width.

Answer 20

Let's see.........

Answer 21

thanks bro

Answer 22

I can help, but I'm tied up at the moment helping 2 other peoople. It's up to you wehther to wait for me or to move on.

Answer 23

i'll wait

Answer 24

No prob Jc

Answer 25

use L for length and W for width:
Perimeter is: 2*L + 2*W = 28.
Length is 2 meters more than twice the width: L = 2*W+2.
Use the above for length in the perimeter:
2*(2*W+2) + 2*W = 28.

Answer 26

The perimeter is (=) twice (two times) the sum of its length and width (L+W).
P=2(L+W)
The perimeter is (=) 28 meters and its length is 2 meters more (+2) than twice (times 2) its width. What is the length?
P=28
L=2+2W
So you know that P=28. Plug that into the first equation:
P=2(L+W)
P=28
28=2(L+W)
then simplify by distributing
28=2L+2W
You also know that L=2+2W, so substitute that for L

Answer 27

It cut me off so I just pasted the rest

Answer 28

I'm a chic - lol

Answer 29

JC and Chic: Hello. Do you two have this problem solution under control yourselves, or do y ou need pointers?

Answer 30

so the answer is 28=2L+2W /
