Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
" 100% " means "the whole thing",
and "is" can be replaced by "is equal to".
You have said "The whole thing of a number is equal to 61."
or
"61 is equal to the whole thing of a number."
The only number that 61 can be equal to is 61.
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
21 = 3p - 5
<u>Step 1</u> : Add 5 on both sides
21 + 5 = 3p
26 = 3p
3p = 26
<u>Step 2</u> : Divide 3 on both sides
p = 26/3
Hence, the solution of the given equation is 26/3, not 9.
