Sqrt of 3......................................
Solution for 0.5 is what percent of 3:
0.5:3*100 =
(0.5*100):3 =
50:3 = 16.666666666667
Now we have: 0.5 is what percent of 3 = 16.666666666667
Question: 0.5 is what percent of 3?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 3 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=3$100%=3.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=0.5$x%=0.5.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=3(1)$100%=3(1).
$x\%=0.5(2)$x%=0.5(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{3}{0.5}$
100%
x%=
3
0.5
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{0.5}{3}$
x%
100%=
0.5
3
$\Rightarrow x=16.666666666667\%$⇒x=16.666666666667%
Therefore, $0.5$0.5 is $16.666666666667\%$16.666666666667% of $3$3.
Answer:
Treat the lesser than sign as an equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponents ( & roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
<u>Solve -6x + 14 < -28</u>
First, subtract 14 from both sides:
-6x + 14 (-14) < -28 (-14)
-6x < -42
Next, divide -6 from both sides to isolate the variable x. Note that when you divide (or multiply) by a negative number, you must flip the greater than or less than sign.
(-6x)/-6 < (-42)/-6
x > (-42)/(-6)
x > 7
x > 7 is your answer.
<u>Solve 3x + 28 < 25</u>
First, subtract 28 from both sides.
3x + 28 (-28) < 25 (-28)
3x < -3
Isolate the variable x. Divide 3 from both sides. Note that because you aren't dividing by a negative number (rather a positive 3), you do not flip the sign.
(3x)/3 < (-3)/3
x < (-3)/(3)
x < -1
x < -1 is your answer.
