In the fifth grade there are 4/5 as many students who do not have glasses as those who do wear glasses if there are 60 students who wear glasses how many students are there in fifth grade

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 4/5 of students do not wear glasses, 1/5 of students do.  

There are 60 students who wear glasses, so let 'x' represent the number of students who wear glasses

(1/5)x = 60     is our equation.  "One-fifth of the number of students who wear glasses is 60"

Now solve for x

(1/5)x = 60

    x = 300    (multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction)

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
