at a parade, there are "m" women and 3 times as many men as women. There are 6,352 fewer children than men.
Find the number of men and the number of children respectively in terms of m. If
m = 7,145, how many peole are at the parade?
If there are 3 times as many men then "m" how do you solve? Let "E" represent men and "C" represent children
7,145*3=E
E-6,352=C
does that help?
To find the number of men and the number of children at the parade in terms of m, let's break down the information given step by step.
1. Let's start with the number of women at the parade, which is represented by "m".
2. According to the information, the number of men is 3 times the number of women. Therefore, the number of men can be expressed as 3m.
3. The number of children is 6,352 fewer than the number of men. This means that the number of children is equal to the number of men minus 6,352. So, the number of children can be written as (3m - 6,352).
Therefore, in terms of m, the number of men is 3m, and the number of children is (3m - 6,352).
Now, let's find out how many people are at the parade when m = 7,145.
1. Substitute the given value of m into the expressions for the number of men and children:
Number of men = 3m = 3 * 7,145 = 21,435
Number of children = 3m - 6,352 = 3 * 7,145 - 6,352 = 21,435 - 6,352 = 15,083
2. To get the total number of people at the parade, we sum up the number of women, men, and children:
Total = m + (3m) + (3m - 6,352)
Total = 7,145 + 21,435 + 15,083
Total = 43,663
Therefore, when m = 7,145, there are 43,663 people at the parade.
