The number of ushers at a basketball game is directly proportional to the number of spectators if there are 510 spectators at the game 17 ushers are needed how many ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators
34 ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators.
Using the direct proportionality, we set up the following equation:
510 spectators / 17 ushers = 1,050 spectators / x ushers
Solving for x, we get:
x = (17 * 1,050) / 510
x = 34
Therefore, 34 ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators.
