800 adults were surveyed to find out how many notes per week they cook dinner 60% indicated that they cooked dinner more than four nights at per week based on the results of the survey how many adults out of a group of 2000 to cooked dinner more than four nights per week

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

60                 x

-              =    -

100               800

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1) 800 x 60= 48,000

Divide by 100= 480

x=480

2)  Multiply 60 by 8.

Now there are another 2 ways to go.

1) 480        x

   -        =   -

  800        2000

2) 60            x

   -          =    -

   100           2000

To get 2000, 100 must be multiplied by 20. So multiply 60 by 20 to get a equal ratio.

Your answer is 1200. Meaning 1200 adults cooked dinner more than four nights per week.

I hope this helps you significantly

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
