Answer:
Quite simply. The answer is X=6
Since you have a full fraction, you can find a common denominator in both fractions and multiply. (The common denominator would be 8, so you would multiply 4 by 2 to get 8. Do the same thing to the top, do multiply 3 by 2 to get 6). Now the fraction is 6/8, and since it's equal to incomplete fraction, you know X is 6.
The best way to find it is to reduce each ratio you work with to its
lowest terms,and see which ones are equal. To reduce a ratio to its
lowest terms, divide each number by their greatest common factor.
First, the one that you're trying to match: <u>49:35</u> .
The greatest common factor of 49 and 35 is 7 .
Divide each number by 7 . . . <em>7:5</em> . . . <u>that's</u> what you have to match.
<u>7:4</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.
<u>14:25</u>
Again, their greatest common factor is '1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.
<u>21:15</u>
Their greatest common factor is ' 3 '.
Divide both numbers by 3 . . . <em>7:5 </em>.
That's it !
6/10 is the fraction and 60 percent
26+0.08x=8+0.13x
26-8=0.13x-0.08x
18=0.05x
x=18/0.05=360 min
