Simple seventh grade math?

Well, you should try to work with fractions, since this is probably what your teacher wants you to do.

If you start with 25 out of 175. This is simplified into 1/7.

You can then multiply this by 5/12

Then you get 5/84

So now you need to make a proportion.

5/84 = x/252

Multiply 5/84 by 252/1 and you get 15

There are expected to be 15 people with a personalized disc in a group of 252 people.

Basically you are working on percentages.

Your entire group is 252 people

25/175 = 0.1428 OR ~14.28% like disc golf.

252*0.1428 = 36 people like disc golf.

of these 36 "players" or likers of disc golf, 5/12 of them have their own disc.

You can get the fraction 5/12 into decimal form (0.416 or 41.6%)

36*0.416 = 15 people have their own disc.

What you are doing is changing these fractions to percents and multiplying the percent to whatever group to see how many people in the group like this sport or have a disc.

Another way is to use equal fractions. If 25 / 175 like disc golf then x / 252 like disc golf. Multiply by 252 on both sides so x= (252*25) / 175. x=36. Likewise, 5 / 12 = x / 36 you can see the denominator 36 is 3*12, so you can say the numerator is 3*5, or 15. or multiply by 36 on both sides so (36*5)/12 = 15.

Okay so 25 out of 175 like to play disc golf. That's roughly 14% (25/175). If 5 of every 12 have a personalized disc that's roughly 42% (5/12).

So, out of 252 people, 14% of them will like to play disc golf...or roughly 35 of them (252 X .14). Of those 35, 42% of them will have a personalized disc or roughly 15 (35 X .42).

25 of the players like to play disc golf

12 goes into 25 ...2 times with 1 left over

5 of 12 times 2 is 10

10 of the 25 players have their own personalized disc

At the same rate...if 25 people out of 252 people liked to play disc golf

and 5 of every 12 of them have a personalized disc...then again

10 of the 25 players own their own discs.

This answer is correct according to how you have written it...if it is 25% of 175 or 25% of 252...the answer would be different. It seems like a trick question. As 25 is your key number for both questions.

15

The first sentence tells you that 1/7 of the 252 play disc golf so 36. Then 5/12 of those 36 have a personalized flying disc so 15.

15

ok, 25/175 equals the people who play disc golf. this = 1/7

1/7 of 252= 36

in the group above five of every twelve have a personalized one.

(5/12)*36=15

I'll preface this with the fact that I did grade 7 math in 1970.

Dismiss the first sentence, it means nothing to your equation.

5 out of 12 players have a personalized flying disc.

In a group of 252 people how many have personalized discs?

252 divided by 12 = (your answer) x 5 = X the number of people with personalized discs

If I'm wrong, I apologize. How are you going to know that I'm wrong?

15 is the answer.

do 25 divided by 175 to show the percent of people who like to play disc golf. Then you do 12 divided by 25 to show the percent rate of how many people have a personlized flying disc out of the percent that like playing disc golf.

6k - ok = 27 - 4k the 1st element to do right this is subtract the ok from the 6k. it incredibly is comparable to subtracting a million from 6. you eventually finally end up with 5k. 5k = 27 - 4k Now upload 4k to the two fringe of your equation. 5k + 4k = 27 - 4k + 4k the 1st element provides as much as 9k and the 4k - 4k subtracts to 0 leaving in basic terms the 27 on the right fringe of your equation. 9k = 27 ultimately, divide the two sides with the help of 9. 9k/9 is 1k or ok. 27 divided with the help of 9 is 3. ok = 3 enable's do subject variety 2. this is a sprint complicated given which you have fractions. To make it extra trouble-free we are able to get rid of the fractions with the help of multiplying the two sides of the equation with a variety which would be divisible with the help of all the denominators. The denominators are 15, 5, 6 and 3. the backside variety achievable that each and every physique 4 of those numbers will pass into is 30. So, multiply the two sides of the equation with the help of 30. 30(13/15 - d/5) = 30(5/6 + d/3) You multiply the 30 into the two areas of the perimeters. So 30 situations 13/15, then do 30 situations d/5. For the 1st section 15 is going into 30 two times so which you get 2 situations 13 it incredibly is 26. the 2nd section 30 divided with the help of 5 is 6 so which you're left with 6d. consequently, the left fringe of the equation is 26 - 6d. Now enable's artwork on the right fringe of the equation. 30 divided with the help of 6 is 5 so which you get 5 situations 5 it incredibly is 25. next, 30 divided with the help of three is 10 so which you get 10d. The left fringe of your equation is 25 + 10d. 26 - 6d = 25 + 10d Now upload 6d to the two sides of the equation. 26 = 25 + 16d Subtract 25 from the two sides. a million = 16d Now divide the two sides with the help of sixteen d = a million/sixteen

set up a proportion so it would be

5 over 12 = x over 252 as a fraction or the more simple way would be

5 x 252=1260 and then 1260/12 =105 which is your answer.

the first two numbers are kind of just to confuse you.
