Question 878574

Let's begin by writing your mixed fraction as an improper fraction. So,
2_3/4 can be written as 11/4.
Let x = the attendance on Thursday.
We know that 792 people attended Friday's game.

Here is your equation:

(11/4)(x) = 792, which can also be written as (11x/4) = 792

Multiply both sides by 4 to remove the fraction on the left side.

4 * (11x/4) = 792 * 4

11x = 3168

Divide 3168 by 11 to find x.

x = 3168/11

x = 288

So, 288 people attended Thursday's game.
