To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
19 you could’ve just used the calculator lol
Answer:
243
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is one question that has three choices a1, a2, and a3, then there will be 3 i.e. 3¹ different ways of answering which are a1 or a2 or a3.
If there are two questions that have answer choices a1, a2, a3 and b1, b2, b3 then there will be 9 i.e. 3² different ways of answering which are a1-b1, a1-b2, a1-b3, a2-b1, a2-b2, a2-b3, a3-b1, a3-b2, and a3-b3.
Similarly, when there are 5 questions that have three choices each, then there will be 3⁵ i.e. 243 ways of answering options. (Answer)
Answer: 36 chocolate chip cookies and 24 oatmeal cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3 + 2 = 5
2. 60 / 5 = 12
3. 12 * 3 = 36
4. 12 * 2 = 24
Answer:x = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + -9x = 3
Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x
-2x = 3
Solving
-2x = 3
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -1.5
Simplifying
x = -1.5
