Answer 2

The three options that can be used are A, C and E.

Explanation:

Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Total of girls in the Spanish club = 30

Total of girls in the Spanish club = 3/5 of the members

Which statements can be used to solve for x, the total number of members in the Spanish club?

Let's solve for x, this way:

3/5 * x = 30

3x = 30 * 5

3x = 150

x = 150/3

x = 50

Now, let's evaluate the three options that can be used to solve for x:

A. Three-fifths x = 30 . This option can be used.

B. Three-fifths = x/30 . This option can't be used.

C. Three-fifths (Five-thirds) x = 30 (five-thirds) . This option can be used.

D. (Three-fifths (five-thirds) x = 30 (five-thirds) . This option can't be used.

E. x = 50. This option can be used.

The three options that can be used are A, C and E.
