Use proportional relationships to solve this mixture problem. The incoming 6th-grade class has a choice between band or choir as an elective. There are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band. How many students can choose band if there is a total of 250 students?
1. 50 students
2. 50 minutes
3. 0.5 cup
4. 28 cups
5. 3 tsp
These are the answers to the "Solve Mixture Problems with Proportions Quick Check"
it is 50! U can tell because when all 3 bot's answer is the same thing, that's the answer! #2023
Thanks Bob
he is right
Carlo needs to complete her science homework. She has 20 pages to read and 14 questions to answer.if it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, how many minutes will it take her to read the full assignment A. 50 minutes B. 85 minutes C. 9 minutes D. 35 minutes what's the answer?!?!?
The guy above me is right about bob being right.
Let's let x represent the number of students who choose band.
Since there are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band, then the number of students who choose choir is 4x.
The total number of students is 250, so we can set up the equation:
x + 4x = 250
Combining like terms, we get:
5x = 250
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 50
Therefore, 50 students can choose band.
To solve this problem using proportional relationships, we need to set up a ratio comparing the number of seats in choir to the number of seats in band.
Let's say the number of seats in band is x. According to the problem, there are four times as many seats in choir as in band.
So the number of seats in choir would be 4x.
Since we know that the total number of students is 250, we can set up the following proportion:
x + 4x = 250
Simplifying the equation, we get:
5x = 250
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 50
Therefore, there are 50 seats in band.
To solve this problem using proportional relationships, we need to establish a ratio between the number of seats in band and the number of seats in choir.
Let's assume the number of seats in band is "x." Since there are four times as many seats in choir, the number of seats in choir would be 4x.
The ratio of seats in band to choir is x:4x (or simply 1:4).
Now, let's consider the total number of students, which is given as 250. We know that the number of students choosing band plus the number of students choosing choir should equal the total number of students.
Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
x + 4x = 250
Combining like terms, we get:
5x = 250
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 250/5
x = 50
So, there are 50 seats available in the band.
Therefore, if there are a total of 250 students, 50 students can choose band as their elective.
