Algebra.Com's Answer #266364 by sophxmai(62)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 3 of 10 students live on campus, how many live on campus of there are 6000 students?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 of 10 students can be written as a fraction, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of students who live on campus if there are 6000 students. \n" ); document.write( "This can be written as \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From here, you can put the two together, \n" ); document.write( "because for every 10 students in the 6000 population, 3 of them live on campus.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you have to solve for x. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6000 \n" ); document.write( "6000( \n" ); document.write( "1800=x \n" ); document.write( " |
