Question
Montana has campgrounds over 41 counties. Nevada has 637 campgrounds over 18 counties. If
Montana was proportional to Nevada in the number of campgrounds to counties, how many
campgrounds would Montana expect to have? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: In order to find the number of campgrounds that Montana would expect to have if it was proportional to Nevada in the number of campgrounds to counties, we need to determine the ratio of campgrounds to counties in Nevada and then apply that same ratio to Montana.

First, we'll find the ratio of campgrounds to counties in Nevada by dividing the number of campgrounds (637) by the number of counties (18): 637 / 18 = 35.389

Now we'll apply that same ratio to Montana by multiplying the number of counties in Montana (41) by the ratio of campgrounds to counties in Nevada: 41 x 35.389 = 1458.369

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 1458. So if Montana was proportional to Nevada in the number of campgrounds to counties, we would expect to find 1458 campgrounds in Montana.
