p.s im not trying to cheat i have to show my work anyway i just dont get what to do to get the answer. :D

Answer 1

ok here u go...

to find the first game u take the # of seats which =600 and u multiply it by 2/3 to get the amount of seats filled. the answer is 400.

to find the homecoming game u take the # of seats which =600 and u multiply by .85 or 3/4 and u will get 510.

the last game is given to you which is 500.



sooo the answer will be the homecoming game by 10 seats!!!

Answer 2

multiply 600 by 2/3 or .66= you find out

multiply 600 by .85= you find out

Last game=500

which one is the most?

Hint: Homecoming game but figure out how many people were at each game

Answer 3

first game multiply 2/3 by 600 to find the amount (2/3 * 600)

homecoming game multiply 85% by 600 to find amount (.85 * 600)

last game 500

subtract the two highest amounts and that is your answer

first game- 400 people at the game (2/3 * 600)

homecoming- 510 people at the game (.85 * 600)

last game- 500 people at the game

homecoming had 10 more people than last game(510 -500= 10)

110 more people than first game

Answer 4

Let's try to get them all into the same value.  I'll go for percents.

First game: 1/3 empty = .33 = 33% empty = 67% full

Homecoming: 85% full

Last: 500/600 to get percent = 83% full.

Now we can get those values into actual people by multiplying percent decimal by 600.

First game: .67*600=402

Homecoming: .85*600=510

Last: 500 (given)

So homecoming game attracted the most people.

Answer 5

Well i believe i go this right........

1st the stadium has a seating capacity of 600 so that is the number your going to use through out the problem.

1st game was 1/3 empty so what i did was mutiplied 600 by 1/3 then u should get___________(a) then you take that number and Subtract that from 600 and you should get_______(b)

Second game 85 percent more came so what i did was took 600 and multiplied it be .85  ( changed percent to decimal form)and you should get _______.(c)  

Now u should know what game had more  people.

a. 200

b. 400

c. 510

hope this helped

Answer 6

Which is the most?

1/3 empty = 2/3 full = 2/3 of 600 = (600*2)/3 =

85% = 85/100 * 600 =

500 fans

The homecoming game, with 85% has the most (110 more than the first, 10 more than the last).

Answer 7

first game : 1/3 empty which means that 2/3 is full

600*2/3=400 fans in the stand

second game : 85% of the stand is full

600*85/100=510

third game 500 fans

the second game attracted most people 110 fans more than the first game and 10 more than the last game

I hope this helps good luck
