The number of ushers at a basketball game is directly proportional to the number of spectators. If there are 510 spectators at the game, 17 ushers are needed. How many ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators?(1 point)
Responses
A 31,500 ushers
B 315 ushers
C 32 ushers
D 35 ushers
B 315 ushers
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of ushers needed when there are 1,050 spectators:
17 ushers / 510 spectators = x ushers / 1,050 spectators
Solving for x:
x = (17 ushers / 510 spectators) * 1,050 spectators
x = 35 ushers
Therefore, 35 ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators.
