Step-by-step Solution:

<em>Let the "?" be known as "x".</em>

Given equation:

3/5 = 24/40 = x/60

Therefore, we obtain the following equations:

  • Equation 1: 3/5 = 24/40
  • Equation 2: 3/5 = x/60
  • Equation 3: 24/40 = x/60

Clearly, the second and the third equation have the "x" variable included. Therefore, we will only focus on the second and third equations.

  • 3/5 = x/60
  • 24/40 = x/60

Note: We can choose any equation to solve for x. The value of x in both equations will be the same as 3/5 = 24/40.

<u>Determining the "x" variable in Equation 2:</u>

  • ⇒ 3/5 = x/60
  • ⇒ 5x = 60 × 3                                             [Cross multiplication]
  • ⇒ 5x = 180                                                        [Simplifying]
  • ⇒ 5x/5 = 180/5                                                   [Dividing]
  • ⇒ x = 36                                                          [Simplifying]

<u>Determining the "x" variable in Equation 3:</u>

  • ⇒ 24/40 = x/60
  • ⇒ 40x = 24 × 60                                        [Cross multiplication]
  • ⇒ 40x = 1440                                                   [Simplifying]
  • ⇒ 40x/40 = 1440/40                                          [Dividing]
  • ⇒ x = 36                                                          [Simplifying]

Therefore, the value of "?" is 36.

Answer:

? = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Knowing that 3/5 and 24/40 is equal</em>

<em>Therefore we can either use:</em>

<em>3/5 = ?/60 or 24/40 = ?/60</em>

<em>I will use 3/5 = ?/60</em>

<em>Let ? = x</em>

<em>Hence we have</em>

<em>3/5 = x/60</em>

<em>Multiply both sides by 10</em>

<em>6 = x/6</em>

<em>Multiply both sides by 6</em>

<em>x = 36</em>

<em>Therefore, the question mark = 36</em>

<em />

<em>Let's check the answer by Simplifying the fraction:</em>

<em>3/5 = 36/60</em>

<em>3/5 is in already simplify</em>

<em>36/60 simplify = 3/5</em>

<em />

<em>3/5 = 3/5</em>

<em>Thus, the question mark = 36</em>

Ganezh [65]
Assuming that the two investments are  X & Y
X + Y = 6300
X = 6300 - Y                                       (1)

9/100X + 4/100 Y = 372                       (2)
replacing X from (1) into (2)
9/100(6300-Y) + 4/100 Y = 372
567 - 9/100Y +4/100Y = 372
(-9+4)/100Y = 372 - 567
5/100Y = -195
Y = 100*195/5 = 3900
From (1) we can get X
X = 6300 - 3900 = 2400

The difference of two numbers is 685. The smaller of the numbers is 262. What is the other number?
jeyben [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>two </em><em>numbers </em><em>be </em><em>x </em><em>and </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>smaller </em><em>number </em><em>be </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>4</em><em>7</em>
