It could be a proportion
24:36=42:x
make into fractions
24/36=42/x
2/3=42/x
multiply both sides by 3x
2x=126
divid oth sides by 2
x=63

the other number is 63

Hello There Awesome User!

The answer could be 54.

As you can see the relationship between 24 and 36 is 12. You find this out by subtracting 36-24=12. Where as you could add 42 to 12 which equals to 54. So, the answer is 54.

10 people can paint a building in 5 days. if each person painted as quickly as the others then how much of the building could 7

So basically it takes 10 people to paint a whole building. Forget about the 5 days. That's just there to confuse you. You have to first find out how much of a building can one person paint so, 1/10. So that means that 7 people can paint 7/10 of a building in 5 days
