Answer 1

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

This basically means that one and a half of the amount of people that took a biking class ran on the treadmill.

There are two ways to solve

1. $\frac{150*120}{100}$

2. $120+\frac{120\\}{2}$

To do the first one:

1. Multiply the values in the numerator

18000/100

2. Divide

180

To do the second one:

1. Divide the fraction

120 + 60

2. Add

180
