Three-fifths of the members of the school choir are women. if there are 24 women, what is the total number of choir members?

Hi  Parkercheyanne14,

To find the answer to your problem we would need to turn 3/5 into a precent which would be 60%. Next, we would need to divide 24 (number of women) by 60% (number of all the people) to get 40.

The total number would be 40 (people).

Hope this helps

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
