For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.
For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!
I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
Answer:
33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage was a decrease.
Let the percent be x.
60 × (1 - x%) = 40
60 × (1 - x/100) = 40
1 - x/100 = 40/60
-x/100 = 40/60 - 1
-x/100 = -1/3
x/100 = 1/3
x = 1/3 × 100
x = 33.33333
Well if your mapping one figure to another and taking the information the equation is y=(28)x
Answer:
Distance between B and C = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken to reach from station A to B be x hr
Let the time taken to reach from station B to C be y hr
Given total time from station A to C be 6 hr
∴ x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 - x → (1)
Also total distance given is 285 miles
As 
∴ distance travelled between station A and B
=
distance travelled between station B and station C
=
So, 40x + 55y = 285
⇒ 40x + 55(6 -x) = 285 (From 1)
=> 40x + 330 - 55x = 285
=> -15x = 285 - 330
=> -15x = -45 ⇒ x=3
gives y = 6-3 = 3 hours
Distance between B and C =
