A coach has 17 pompoms to give to her cheerleading team. If each cheerleader needs 2 pompoms to compete, what is the greatest number of cheerleaders that can compete? Will there be any pompoms remaining? If so, how many? Show your work on paper.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a coach has 17 pompoms to give to her cheerleading team and that each cheerleader needs 2 pompoms to compete.

The greatest number of cheerleaders that can compete will be calculated as:

= 17 / 2

= 8 1/2

Therefore, the greatest number of cheerleader is 8.

There be 1 pompom remaining.

step-by-step explanation:

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
