Example Question #21 : How To Find A Proportion
If the ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is , and there are a total of of
students in the classroom, how many boys are in the classroom?
If the ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is , that means that there are
boys for every
girls. Thus, when there are
students in a classroom, the breakdown will be
boys and
girls. If there are
students in a classroom, the breakdown will be
boys and
girls, which translates to a ratio of
, or
.
Thus, if there are students,
will be boys.
Example Question #71 : Solve Problems Involving Measurement And Conversion Of Measurements
On Saturday Jake raked leaves for minutes and on Sunday he raked leaves for
hours. In hours, how much total time did he spend raking on both Saturday and Sunday?
The first thing we need to do is put our minutes into hours because our final answer is asking for hours. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we can add our hours together to find the total.
Example Question #72 : Solve Problems Involving Measurement And Conversion Of Measurements
Matt studied for minutes everyday from Monday-Friday. How many total hours did he spend studying?
The first thing we need to do is put our minutes into hours because our final answer is asking for hours. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we need to multiply because Matt studied for
hours each day.
