Your answer to the first problem is wrong. Look carefully at the quantities.
The second is correct.
2nd for sure.
For the first question, Jeremy drinks 2 pints of milk every 3 days. To find out how much milk Jeremy would drink in 60 days, you can set up a proportion:
2 pints / 3 days = X pints / 60 days
Cross multiplying, we have:
2 * 60 days = 3 * X pints
120 = 3X
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
40 = X
Therefore, Jeremy would drink 40 pints of milk in 60 days. The correct answer is D.
For the second question, the survey results show that 14 people prefer peanut butter cups out of 50 students. To find out how many students can be expected to select peanut butter cups out of 250 students at the Valentines Dance, you can set up a proportion:
14 people / 50 students = X people / 250 students
Cross multiplying, we have:
14 * 250 students = 50 * X people
3500 = 50X
Dividing both sides by 50, we get:
70 = X
Therefore, we can expect 70 students to select peanut butter cups out of 250 students at the Valentines Dance. The correct answer is D.
