1/5 of the people in a village have been inoculated against measles. If 50 people have been inoculated, the number of people in the village is ?
So the answer would be 250 people in the village in total.
Well, let's do some math and try to figure this out! If 1/5 of the people in the village have been inoculated, and that number is 50, then we can determine that 5/5 (which is the entire village) would be 5 times 50. That adds up to 250. So, it looks like there are 250 people in the village. Time to throw a big measles-free celebration! Woohoo! 🎉
To find the total number of people in the village, we need to use the information that 1/5 of the people have been inoculated, and that this number is equal to 50.
To determine the total number of people in the village, we can use a proportion. Let's denote the total number of people in the village as "x":
(1/5) * x = 50
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
x = (50 * 5) / 1
x = 250
Therefore, the number of people in the village is 250.
