Four out of every five teenagers surveyed went to a movie theater in the past month. If 95 teenagers were surveyed, how many had gone to the movies in the past month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

76 teenagers went to movies in the past month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of teens who went to movie out of every 5 teens  = 4

Total teens surveyed = 95

Let, out of 95 teenagers , the teens who went to movie = m

So, the ratio  of people who went : who were surveyed = 4: 5

Now,  BY THE LAW OF RATIO AND PROPORTIONALITY

[tex]\frac{4}{5}  = \frac{m}{95}[/tex]

or, [tex]m = \frac{95 \times 4}{5}  = \frac{ 380}{5} = 76[/tex]

So, m = 76

⇒ 76 teenagers went to movies in the past month.
