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, \"3%2F10\"\r
\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 \"x%2F6000\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From here, you can put the two together, \"3%2F10\"=\"x%2F6000\"
\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( "\"3%2F10\"=\"x%2F6000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6000
\n" ); document.write( "6000(\"3%2F10\")=6000(\"x%2F6000\")
\n" ); document.write( "1800=x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
