wow

tidal badger
paper pagoda
#

no I mean

#

I liked the format of this question

#

anyways

#

so we got 360 degrees here

tidal badger
#

yea

paper pagoda
#

and the total number of medals won are 90

tidal badger
#

360 divided by 90 im guessing

paper pagoda
#

yup

#

you get 4

tidal badger
#

ye

paper pagoda
#

now can you explain what can you do with that 4

tidal badger
#

times by 132

paper pagoda
#

wrong

#

@tidal badger wanna try again or do you want me to explain from the beginning?

paper pagoda
#

let's do the latter

tidal badger
#

o wait

#

do you put it as a fraction

paper pagoda
#

you're close

tidal badger
#

4\360

paper pagoda
#

what is that

tidal badger
#

i cant put the other slash my keyboards broken

#

4/360 times by 132 im guessing

paper pagoda
#

you mean 4/360?

tidal badger
#

4/360 times by 132 im guessing

#

wait what

paper pagoda
#

yes

tidal badger
#

oo yea

paper pagoda
#

4/360 means 4 being divided into 360 parts
360/4 means 360 being divided into 4 parts

tidal badger
#

yes

paper pagoda
#

do you know about ratios?

tidal badger
#

like 4:6

paper pagoda
#

yup

#

so let's take help of them

#

we will calculate the ratio of angle and medals

tidal badger
#

132:90

paper pagoda
#

wrong

tidal badger
#

90:132

paper pagoda
#

we are talking about all the medals

tidal badger
#

360:90

paper pagoda
#

right

#

now simplify it to shorter values

tidal badger
#

4:1

paper pagoda
#

right

#

that means 4 degrees = 1 medal

tidal badger
#

132 divided by 4

paper pagoda
paper pagoda
tidal badger
#

now the same for teignford

paper pagoda
#

yup

tidal badger
#

360 divided by 140

paper pagoda
#

right

#

but use ratios, it'll be simpler

#

you won't get confused later

tidal badger
#

360:140

paper pagoda
#

yes, now simplify

tidal badger
#

18:7

paper pagoda
#

right

#

so 18 degrees = 7 medals

tidal badger
#

108 divided by 18 is 6

paper pagoda
#

well

tidal badger
#

nvm

paper pagoda
#

try again

tidal badger
#

wait is it 42

paper pagoda
#

gotcha!

tidal badger
#

33<42 so teignford track for A

paper pagoda
tidal badger
#

132 divided by 18

#

wait no

#

132 divided by 7

#

wait idk

#

132 times 7 then divide it by 18

#

nvm

#

18:7

#

no

paper pagoda
#

ok calm down

#

proportion means highest ratio of that specific medal with respect to other medals

tidal badger
#

108:360

#

no

paper pagoda
#

highest proportion = highest distribution = higher angle

tidal badger
#

108

#

108 divide by 7

paper pagoda
#

they're asking team

tidal badger
#

18 times 7

paper pagoda
tidal badger
#

i give up i cant do this

paper pagoda
#

for (a)
1st team have higher angle

tidal badger
#

108 times 7

paper pagoda
tidal badger
#

wait its that easy

paper pagoda
#

for (b) you already calculated no. of silver medals for both teams

#

just add them and you have your answer

tidal badger
#

42 add 33

paper pagoda
#

because you calculated the no. of silver medals individually, you can also answer (c) part

paper pagoda
tidal badger
#

o

#

75

#

so a is teignford

paper pagoda
#

no

#

City Atheletics - 132 degrees
Teignford - 108 degrees

#

highest proportion = highest degree

tidal badger
#

a) City athletics
b) city athletics = 33
Teignford Track = 42
c) teignford track

paper pagoda
#

Right

#

you solved the problem

tidal badger
#

thank you so much i was stuck for 3 hours

#

well cya and thanks
