Question

Suppose 5 out of every 18 of the people who like to work out have a gym membership. At the same rate, in a group of 216 people, how many people would have a gym membership?

Answer 1

60 people

Explanation:

Set up a proportion:

`(5)/(18)` =
`(x)/(216)`

Cross multiply and solve for x:

18x = 1080

x = 60

So, 60 people would have a gym membership
