A survey is conducted in a certain neighborhood to find out residents' favorite vacation spot Two-fifths of the respondents, or 80 residents, said they like spending their vacation at the beach. Which equation represents the number of residents, r, surveyed? How many residents were surveyed? (1 point)
2/6 * r = 80 200 residents were surveyed
y/2 * r = 81 , 200 residents were surveyed.
80r = 2/h residents were surveyed
2/6 * r = 8 , 32 residents were surveyed
The correct equation representing the number of residents surveyed is 2/5 * r = 80. To find the number of residents surveyed, we can rearrange the equation and solve for r:
2/5 * r = 80
r = 80 * 5/2
r = 200
Therefore, 200 residents were surveyed.
