Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
= 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.
The answer is 6, hope this helped!
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
= (500 miles) / (6.7 hours)
= (500 / 6.7) (mile/hour)
= 74.63 miles per hour.
I imagine there were quite a number of pit stops included in that.
This is faster than I expected when I first read your question.
That's really gettin' with it for cars in 1911 !
Why yes, yes it is just that.
