Question

There are 63 people at the aquarium. 5/7 of them are children. Show an equation to respresent the problem

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} C=63\cdot\frac{5}{7}(equation) \\ \text{C=63}\cdot\frac{5}{7} \end{gathered}$

Explanation

Step 1

Let

C represents the total of children at the aquarium ,

then

when you have a whole number ( 63 in this case) and you need to find the proportion, you need to multiply

$\begin{gathered} \text{total of Childrend=63}\cdot\frac{5}{7}\rightarrow C=63\cdot\frac{5}{7}(equation) \\ \text{total of Childrend=}45 \\ C=45 \end{gathered}$

so, the total of children is 45.
