On a particular Saturday, 60% of the visitors to an art museum were students. If 144 visited the museum, how many total visitors did the art museum have that day?

240 visitors

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of visitors that are student to art museum = 60%

Total number of students to museum = 144

We have to find the total number of visitors to the museum.

Let x be the total number of visitors to the museum.

Thus, we can write the equation:

Thus, there were 240 visitors to the art museum on that day.

1; 35 is the ratio

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
