divide total miles by time:
157.5 / 2.5 = 63 miles per hour
To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.
It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).
Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.
Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.
To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).
This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).
Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).
This product equation should look like this:
8x.
Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.
8x = 2000.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).
8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.
x = 250
Your final answer is:
8% of 250 is 20.
I hope this helps!
It looks a little less than 1/2 or 4/8, so probably 3/8 of the gas is left.
Answer:
-0.8x + 4.8y + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
4(0.5x+2.5y-0.7x-1.3y+4) = 4( 0.5x - 0.7x + 2.5y - 1.3y + 4)
= 4( -0.2x + 1.2y + 4)
= 4*(-0.2x) + 4 *1.2y + 4*4
= -0.8x + 4.8y + 16
