3/5 of 15=n
n=9
So, if you divide 3/5 of 15, you get 9 as your answer.
The answer is 5/9
Hope this helps
Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.
so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the the number of years.
8% * 200,000 = 16,000
Find the difference between the years.
2013 - 2000 = 13 years
13 * 16000 = 208000 This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.
208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000
You could pick just about anything 3/8 is not the same thing as 5/7 and neither is 3/4
Something that is equivalent would be something like 10/14 or 20/28
We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.
If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.
See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62.
We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).
Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.
40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side
-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2
h = 11
So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.
