The population of Linton is 12 times that of Ellmore. The combined population of both towns is 9,646 people. What is the population of Linton?

Question

Dannymal · Answer

9646 = L + E L = 12E E + 12E 13L = 9646 9646/13 = 742 = E 742 x 12 = 8904 (L) L is 8904 Happy to Help!

Demon · Answer

your ratio would be 12:1 add all the parts to get the whole 13x= 9646 find x by dividing by 13 you get 742 now just plug x in 12x= 12 x 742 Linton population is 8904

Demon · Answer

The population of Ellmore is 742, and since Linton's population is 12 times that of Ellmore, Linton's population is 8,904 people. We found this by establishing the equation based on their combined populations. After solving for Ellmore's population, we multiplied by 12 to find Linton's population.
