    Let's form an equation in the terms of Ellmore. E will be for Ellmore.

    E + 12E=9,646

    13E=9,646

    Let's divide each side by 13.

    9,646:13

    742

    So, that means there is a population of 742. Linton is 12 times as much as Ellmore. Let's multiply.

    742*12

    8,904

    There are 8,904 people in Linton.
