Question

The number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida. There are 85 State Parks in California. Which of the following equations would you use to find the number of State Parks in Florida? Note: f represents the number of state parks in Florida

Answer 1

number of state parks in Florida is 147.

Equation is 1/3(f) + 36 = 85

Explanation:

Given that f represents the number of state parks in Florida.

Also given that number of State Parks in California is 36 more than one third the number of State Parks in Florida

number of State Parks in California = 1/3 (number of State Parks in Florida) + 36

but it is given that There are 85 State Parks in California

and f represents the number of state parks in Florida

85 = 1/3(f) + 36 _________equation

=> 85 - 36 = 1/3 (f)

=> 49 = 1/3 f

=> 49*3 = f

=> f = 147

Thus, number of state parks in Florida is 147.

Equation is 1/3(f) + 36 = 85
