Answer:
I'm not going to ask who in the world came up with that question but anyway
Explanation:
to find the number of people who pitched a conniption given the ratio of those who threw a hissy fit to those who pitched a conniption and the number of people who threw a hissy fit. A hissy fit and a conniption are both informal terms for a tantrum or an outburst of anger. A ratio is a comparison of two quantities using division. To solve this problem, we can use the following steps:
Write the ratio of those who threw a hissy fit to those who pitched a conniption as a fraction: 1411
Write an equivalent fraction with the given number of people who threw a hissy fit as the numerator: 1411=x253
where x is the unknown number of people who pitched a conniption.
Cross-multiply and solve for x: 11x=14×253
x=1114×253
x=324.909...
Round the answer to the nearest whole number and write it with the appropriate units: x≈325
people
Write the answer as a complete sentence: About 325 people pitched a conniption.
