LuAnn talked on her cell phone for 180 minutes, using 3/7 of her total monthly minutes. Find out how many total minutes LuAnn gets to talk in one month using at least two different methods.

Respuesta :

180=3/7 you would do 180/3 which is 60 so 60=1/7 so to get the total you would do 60×7 which is 420 lol

Alright, lets get started.

Method 1:

Suppose Luann gets total monthly minutes = x

She spent [tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex] of her monthly minutes means

she has spent = [tex] \frac{3}{7} x [/tex]

As per given in question, she has used 180 minues, so

[tex] \frac{3}{7} x = 180 [/tex]

Cross multiplying

[tex] 3x = 180*7 [/tex]

[tex] 3x = 1260 [/tex]

Dividing 3 in both sides

x = 420

Means she had monthly 420 minutes : Answer

Method 2 :

[tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex] of her total monthly minutes will be = 180

So, 1 or say complete month total minutes will be = [tex] \frac{180}{\frac{3}{7} } [/tex]

So, 1 month total minutes will be = [tex] \frac{180*7}{3} = 420 [/tex]

So, the answer is 420 minutes : Answer

Hope it will help :)
