Question

12. Town A has 4.563 residents.

Town A has 127 more than
4 times the number of residents
of Town B. How many residents
does Town B have?

Answer 1

Answer: We can set up an equation to represent the given information:

4.563 = 4B + 127

where B is the number of residents in Town B.

To solve for B, we can first subtract 127 from both sides:

4.563 - 127 = 4B

Then divide both sides by 4:

B = (4.563 - 127) / 4

B = 1.140775

So Town B has approximately 1.140775 residents.
