Question

I NEED THE ANSWER ASAP

The number of students who smoke cigarettes at Broxton College is decreasing at a rate of one smoker every 6.31 days. At what rate in smokers per year is the number of smokers declining? Assume 365 days in a year and round to the nearest tenth of a smoker per year

Answer 1

57.8 is the answer to this problem

Answer 2

57.8

Explanation:

We can set up a proportion for this, assuming x is the smokers lost in 365 days.

`(1)/(6.31) = (x)/(365)`

Using the cross products property, we know that x will be equal to:

`(365\cdot1) / 6.31\\365/6.31\\\\\approx 57.8`

Hope this helped!
