Question

Can you help? Please :)

At Martin Luther King Jr. High School 7 out of 9 students voted to plant trees at the front of the school. A total of 119 voted to plant the trees. How many students voted?
A. 153
B. 272
C. 128
D. 135​

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

I divided 119 by 7 which is 17. Then multiplied that by 2 because theres a gap of 2 between 7 and 9 and got 34. lastly added 119 by 34 and got 153. (Sorry if I got it wrong)

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you first divide 7 by 9.

Then, you divide 119 by 7/9.

`(7)/(9) = 0.777777777777\\\\(119)/(0.77777777777) = 153.\\\\`

To check your work, divide 119 by 153, and you will get 0.777777777777, which is the same as 7 divided by 9.

So, the answer is A. 153
