We can rephrase the question as "What percent of 50 is 20?".
"What percent ..." is an unknown. We'll use the variable x to represent this unknown.
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean 'multiply'. Likewise the word 'is' can mean 'equal'.
Now we have the phrase "20 equals to x times 50".
Or in an equation: 20 = x * 50
Solve for x.
20 = x * 50

= x <-- Divide both sides by 50
Simplify the fraction.

Convert the fraction into a decimal.

= 0.4
Convert the decimal into a percent.
0.4 = 40%
So, 40% is the answer.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
m/n = 1/7
Using cross products
7m = n
This is a direct proportion
Kate's model is correct because 10 times the value of 4 rods, 10(4(10)), is 400. Mel's model represents 4(1)=4, which is incorrect. Kate's model represents 4*100=400, which is correct.

Answer: 0.5</h3>
This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2
==============================================================
Explanation:
The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.
|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3
or
|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3
We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.
--------------------------
The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...
|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5
or
|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5
The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.
We can say A'B' = 1.5
---------------------------
Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k
k = (A'B')/(AB)
k = (1.5)/(3)
k = 0.5
0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.
The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.
