Question

The number that rode in columns was 3 2/3 times the number that rode in rows. If 2200 rode in columns, how many rode in rows?

Answer 1

600

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number that rode in columns =
`3(2)/(3)` times the number that rode in rows.

2200 rode in columns

Unknown:

Number of people that rode in rows = ?

Solution:

Let the number of people that rode in columns = C

Let the number of people that rode in rows = R

C =
`(11)/(3)`R

Number of people that rode in rows = 2200;

2200 =
`(11)/(3)`R

11R = 2200 x 3

R =
`(2200 x 3)/(11)`

R = 200 x 3

R = 600

Number of people that rode in rows = 600
