Q: A special school for deaf and blind students has a deaf student population three times the size of blind student population. If the number of deaf students is 180, how many students are there altogether?
A: Call the number of blind students b. There are 180 deaf students, which is three times the number of blind students, so 3b = 180. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1 / 3 gives b = (1 / 3) * 180 = 60. The total number of students is 180 + 60 = 240. The answer is 240.
Question: Mona plays a multiplayer video game on the weekends. She joins groups with four other players to complete objectives in the game. The past weekend, she joined 9 groups.
