a television station released 300 balloons. Of these, 3/4 were orange. How many were orange?

3/4=x/300 don't understand that

(3/4)* 300) = 225

thank you for all your help kuai!! u helped me out a lot, I was so confused!

To find out how many orange balloons were released, you can set up a proportion using the given information.

Let's assign a variable to the number of orange balloons. Let's call it "x."

The proportion can be set up as follows:

(orange balloons)/(total balloons) = (x)/300

Now, substitute the given information into the proportion:

(3/4) = (x)/300

To solve for x, cross multiply and solve the equation:

3 * 300 = 4 * x

900 = 4x

Divide both sides of the equation by 4:

900/4 = x

225 = x

So, there were 225 orange balloons released.
