Question

There are 63 people at the aquarium. 5/7 of them are children. Show an equation to respresent the problem

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} C=63\cdot(5)/(7)(equation) \\ \text{C=63}\cdot(5)/(7) \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let

C represents the total of children at the aquarium ,

then

when you have a whole number ( 63 in this case) and you need to find the proportion, you need to multiply

`\begin{gathered} \text{total of Childrend=63}\cdot(5)/(7)\rightarrow C=63\cdot(5)/(7)(equation) \\ \text{total of Childrend=}45 \\ C=45 \end{gathered}`

so, the total of children is 45.
