Question

3/4 of the households in a rural area have pets. how many households have pets in this area if there are 1500 total households

Answer 1

1125 households

Explanation:

3/4 of total households in area = # of households that have pets in the area

3/4 of 1500 = # of households that have pets in the area

3/4 · 1500 = # of households that have pets in the area

75/100 · 1500 = # of households that have pets in the area

0.75 · 1500 = 1125

1125 households

Answer 2

1,125 households would have pets in the area.

Explanation:

We have 1,500 total households. We also know that 3/4 (or 0.75) of these households have pets. We would multiply 1,500 by 0.75 (which is equal to 3/4), resulting in 1,125. Therefore, 1,125 households would have pets in the area.
