Answer 1

Given :

Nathan smiled at 50 people one day and recorded that 36 people smiled back at him.

To Find :

How many people should Nathan expect to return a smile if he smiles at 650 people over a period of time.

Solution :

Ratio of people smiled by total number of people is :

`R = (36)/(50)`

Now, it is given that we have to use the given conditions.

Therefore, ratio will be same :

`(s)/(650)=(36)/(50)\\\\s = (36)/(50)* 650\\\\s = 468`

Therefore, number of smiles Nathan expect to return is 468.
