Answer:

  • <u>22 counselors</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Ratio of campers to counselors in june:</u>

  • number of campers: 325

  • number of counselors: 26

  • Ratio = number of campers / number of counselors

  • Ratio = 325 campers / 26 counselors

<u />

<u>2. Ratio of campers to counselors in july:</u>

  • number of campers = 325 - 265 + 215 = 275

  • number of counselors = x (unknown)

  • Ratio = 275 campers / x

<u />

<u>3. Equivalent ratios:</u>

  • 325 campers / 26 counselors = 275 campers / x

Solve for x:

  • x = (26counselors/325campers) × 275campers = 22 counselors ← answer

A mill processes 27 tons of flour in 3 hours. How many tons of flour can the mill process in 8 hours if the rate of production s
Delvig [45]
There are a few ways you can go about solving this question. One way is to use the given information to find how many tons of flour can be processed in one hour. If 27 tons can be processed in 3 hours, we can do 27 divided by 3 to find that 9 tons of flour can be processed per hour. Then, if we want to see how many tons of flour can be processed in 8 hours, we can multiply 9 tons by 8 hours to get a total of 72 tons of flour.

I hope this helps.

What weight of dry substance is in 150g of a 3% substance solution? What weight of an 8% solution can we have with the same weig
Pavlova-9 [17]
The answers are: 4.5 g and 56.25 g respectively.

Since the first type of measurement in this question is weight or mass, I'll suppose that the percentage concentration is % mass/mass. For that type of concentration measurement, just multiply the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the wanted material.
So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g

For the 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the first solution to get the wanted amount of new solution:
3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g

an animal shelter has a ratio of dogs to cats test 3:2 if they are 30 cats at the shelter how many dogs are there
vitfil [10]
This ratio is in a form of dogs:cats.
The ratio given means there are 3 dogs for every 2 cats.
You can rewrite it as 3 dogs:2 cats.
If there are 30 cats, you would write the ratio as x dogs:30 cats.
Since the same must be done to both sides, you must find how many times 2 was multiplied to get 30 then multiply dogs by that number.
30 / 2 = 15
3 • 15 = 45
So if a shelter has 30 cats, then it has 45 dogs.
This can be written in a ratio as 45:30, or 45 dogs:30 cats.
