In the science club, 1/2 the students are freshman, 1/20 are sophomores, 1/10 are juniors, and 70 students are seniors. how many students are sophomores?

So we are using the denominator 20.

1/2 of 20 would be 10.

So, out of 20 we multiply it by 10 since it is our numerator.

Now, we have converted it to 100/200.

Freshman : 100 students

Sophomores : 10 students

Juniors : 20 students

Seniors : 70 students

Part A = B. 1 ÷ 1/3 = 3

Part B = 27 brownies

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

From the ingredients given in above question:

1/3 cup of butter = 1 batch of brownies

Hence: 1 cup of butter = x

Cross Multiply

1/3 cup of butter × x = 1 cup of butter × 1 batch of brownies

x = 1 cup of butter × 1 batch of brownies/1/3 cup of butter

x = 1 batch of brownies ÷ 1/3

x = 1 batch of brownies × 3/1

x = 3 batches of brownies

Hence, the number brownies Jackson can make with 1 cup of butter Is 3 batches of brownies

Therefore, the equation you can use to solve the problem is Option B. 1 ÷ 1/3 = 3

Part B

If each brownie is 1/9 of a batch, how many brownies did he make?

We know from Part A that Jackson made 3 batches of brownies hence:

1/9 of a batch of brownies = 1 brownie

3 batches of brownies = x

Cross Multiply

1/9 of a batch of brownies × x = 1 brownie × 3 batches of brownies

x = 1 brownie × 3 batches of brownies/ 1/9 of a batch of brownies

x =( 3 ÷ 1/9) brownies

x = ( 3 × 9/1) brownies

x = 27 brownies

Therefore, the number of brownies he made was 27 brownies.
