Answer:
408
Step-by-step explanation:
You would set up a proportion of 1/12 = 34/x. You would do the butterfly method and get 1x=408. Then divide 408 by 1 to get 408.
Answer:
408
Step-by-step explanation:
You see the rate is one out of twelve(1/12)
So if 1 now equals 34 (ALWAYS KEEP THE FRACTIONS BALANCED, WHAT YOU DO TO ONE SIDE YOU MUST DO TO THE OTHER)
so to get 1 to 34 you multiplied by 34. So do the same to 12 to get your total number or surveyed students.

Answer:
x =20
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve
$240 320
----------- = ------------
15 x
Using cross products
240x = 320 * 15
240x =4800
Divide by 240 on each side
240x/240 = 4800/240
x =20
Add 6 to both sides so that you can get the variable by itself
The correct answer to this question is 6 in
