The correct equation is: 2/5r = 80.
To find out how many residents were surveyed, we can solve the equation for r:
2/5r = 80
To isolate r, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2:
(2/5r) * (5/2) = 80 * (5/2)
r = 200
Therefore, 200 residents were surveyed.
The correct answer is: Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction r equals 80 ; 200 residents were surveyed.
A survey is conducted in a certain neighborhood to find out residents’ favorite vacation spot. Two-fifths of the respondents, or 80 residents, said they like spending their vacation at the beach.
