An advertisement claims that 7 out of 8 people prefer brand x. suppose 216 people were interviewed. find the number of people who prefer brand X

189 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a proportion to solve

We know that 7 out of 8 people prefer Brand X, and p out of 216 people prefer Brand X, so

7/8=p/216

To solve, we need to get p by itself.

To do this, we must multiply both sides by 216 to "reverse" the division being done to p.

216(7/8)=(p/216)216

189=p

So, out of 216 people, 189 people will prefer Brand X.

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !

it’s the first one your welcome
