Allen's Question #14

Question

14. Three eighths of the 96 adults in the
McGregor clan are less than 150 cm tall.

a. Draw a diagram to represent the
statement.

- (3/8 of 96 adults are less than 150 cm tall.)

b) How many adults in the McGregor clan
are less than 150 cm tall? Show your work using equivalent ratios.

-(96:8 = 12:1 = 26:3) so 26 adults are less than 150 cm tall.

c) How many adults are 150 cm or taller?
Explain your thinking.

- there are 26 (150 cm tall adults) to 96 (adults), and there 70 adults taller

than 150 cm.
