MATHEMATICS MIDDLE SCHOOL

At a school, 40% of the sixth-grade students said that hip-hop is their favorite kind of music. If 100 sixth-grade students prefer hip hop music, how many sixth-grade students are at the school? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way of saying this is:

40% of all six-grade students are 100 of them.

So,

40% of total is equal to 100

We can translate this into an algebraic equation and solve for the total number of students.

Let total number of students be "t"

Also, note "of" means "multiplication" and "is" means "equal"

Lets translate word equation to algebraic:

"40% of total is equal to 100"

40% * t = 100

Converting percentage to decimal by dividing by 100, we have:

40% = 40/100 = 0.4

Now, we have:

0.4 * t = 100

We can now solve for t:

0.4 * t = 100\nt=(100)/(0.4)\nt=250

Hence,

the total number of students is 250

Two angles in a triangle add up to 98 degrees. what is the size of the third angle?

Answers

the answer is 82 the sum of all the angles is 180 and two of them add up to 98 so subtract 180-98=82 and the other angles measure 49 each 
All 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

180 - 98 = 82

So 82 degrees is the third angle.
