as many band members as the high school band. The high school band has 502 members. About how many members are in the middle school band?

112

390


45


645

Answer 1

that's wrong

Answer 2

To find out how many members are in the middle school band, we can use a simple proportion. Since the middle school band has 2/9 of the number of members as the high school band, we can set up the following equation:

2/9 = x/502

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

9x = 2 * 502
9x = 1004
x = 1004/9

Using long division, we find that 1004 ÷ 9 = 111 remainder 5.

Therefore, x ≈ 111 + 5/9 ≈ 112. Hence, there are about 112 members in the middle school band.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake.

To find the number of members in the middle school band, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

2/9 = x/502

Next, we can cross multiply:

9x = 2 * 502
9x = 1004

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 9:

x = 1004/9

When we do the division, we find:

x ≈ 111.56

Therefore, the approximate number of members in the middle school band is 112.
