A video rental store has 1,234 videos on the shelves. OF the videos 1/3 were rated PG and 1/2 were rated PG-13. What equation can be used to find v, the total number of PG and PG 13 videos in the store?
(1/3 * 1234) + (1/2 * 1234) = v
Please do not post the same question more than once. It's rude and considered spamming the board.
To find the equation that can be used to find the total number (v) of PG and PG-13 videos in the store, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Calculate the number of PG videos in the store.
To do this, multiply the total number of videos (1,234) by the fraction representing the proportion of PG rated videos, which is 1/3.
Number of PG videos = 1,234 * 1/3 = 411.33 (approximated to the nearest whole number)
Step 2: Calculate the number of PG-13 videos in the store.
Similarly, multiply the total number of videos (1,234) by the fraction representing the proportion of PG-13 rated videos, which is 1/2.
Number of PG-13 videos = 1,234 * 1/2 = 617
Step 3: Add the number of PG videos and the number of PG-13 videos to get the total number of PG and PG-13 videos.
v = Number of PG videos + Number of PG-13 videos
v = 411 + 617
v = 1,028
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find v, the total number of PG and PG-13 videos in the store, is:
v = 411 + 617
