Question 101237
lets see here...

20 out of 50 like pizza.. how many would like pizza out of 450...

Ok lets solve this ...


20/50

is what you start off with as of right now.. Now lets divide from 450 to see how much times 50 goes into it!

450 Divided by 50=n

Since we don't know, we can make the multiplier n.

So far it is:

(20xN)/ 450

Now lets see.. 

  ___9
50)450

so that means the multiplier is 9..

~~~~~~~~~

(20x9) / 450

Now lets figure it out!!

20x9=180... so that means..


out of 450, 180 students would like pizza most likely.
