Question

at a local shelter 36 people volunteered to help prepare meals for disaster victims if this represented 9/16 of the volunteers at the shelter right and solve an equation to determine how many volunteers helped at the local shelter

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

There are x number of volunteers.

9/16 of x volunteered to help with meals.

36 people volunteered to help with meals, so 9/16 of x must be 36.

(9/16)x = 36

(1/16)x = 4

x = 64
