So a hack is we know that 20% times 5 =100% and 40 divided by 2=20 so

50=40%
divide both sides by 2
25=20%

20 times 5=100 so
multiply both sides by 5
125=100%

 All you have to do is times 100 by 50 and then divide the product: 5000 by 40 which equals 125.

how I solved it (solved for X) below:

40/100 = 50/x --> 50*100 = 40x --> 5000 = 40x --> 5000/40 = x --> 125 = x
<u></u>
KEY: <u>/ means </u><u>divide</u>  <u>* means times</u>  <u>= means equals</u>  <u>--> means "next step</u><u>"</u>

It is called cross multiplication

Answer:

Multiply both sides by -2 and reverse the inequality symbol

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is division you want to make it multiplication so that you can get the answer easier

-1/2w<12

it cancels out the -1/2 than just multiply 12 and -2 you get -24

w > -24
