Question

The arena satisfaction survey was sent out to 650 people. In total 3/5 of people returned the survey. How many people returned the survey?

Answer 1

This is a proportion problem that involves cross multiplication

3/5 = x/650

650 x 3 = 1950

1950/ 5 =390

Or you could have done 650 x .6 (which is the decimal form of 3/5) and got 390 as your answer

Answer 2

Answer: 390

Explanation:

Given : The arena satisfaction survey was sent to the people = 650

The fraction of people returned the survey =
`(3)/(5)`

To find the number of people returned the survey is given by :-

`\text{Number of people returned the survey}=(3)/(5)*650\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Number of people returned the survey}=390`

Hence, the number of people returned the survey = 390.
