2/5 of 100 is 40, multiply that by two and you get 80/200. 80 pages.

To get the answer we can use proportion
2/5 ------------------ 203
3/5 ------------------ x
crossmultiply now
3/5*203=2/5*x
$\frac{609}{5} = \frac{2}{5} x \\ 609=2x \\ x=304.5$ - its the answer

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1\ can = 2.2m^2$

Required

Determine the number of cans for the wall

The dimension of the wall is not given. So, I will use the following assumed values:

$Length=20m$

$Width = 44m$

First, calculate the area of the wall

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = 20m * 44m$

$Area = 880m^2$

If $1\ can = 2.2m^2$

Then $x = 880m^2$

Cross Multiply:

$x * 2.2m^2 = 1 * 880m^2$

$x * 2.2m^2 = 880m^2$

$x * 2.2 = 880$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{880}{2.2}$

$x = 400$

400 cans using the assume dimensions.

So, all you need to to is, get the original values and follow the same steps

For the first one, since she earns $17 per hour, & she tutored for 12 hrs this month, all you have to do is multiply the amount she makes per hour by the hours she’s tutored for. so 12x17=$204 so she made $204 this month. For the second one, it’d be the same thing, just multiply 19.5 by 17, which would give you 331.5.

& For the second question, all you have to do is plug in the numbers to the equation above. so it’d be 540 gallons / 1 minute multiplied by 42 since that is the time the pool needs to be filled by. So, if you do that, you will get 22,680, so the answer will be : yes it will fill up on time.
