Pick a value for 'x' then solve for the 'y'
Ex: X=6 then 6-2y=2 then 4=2y then y=2y
So your answer will be 6,2.
Another answer to your question would be 4,1.
Solution
The dimension of the rectangular floor is 18ft long and 12 ft wide
Using the conversion table
It is given that 1yd =3 ft
This shows that
12 feet will be equivalent to
Also 18ft will be equialent to
Therefore the new dimension is 6 yard by 4 yard
The area will be
Therefore the required area is
Percentage is the same as a fraction over 100, where the number 100 represents a 'whole'.
Therefore, if 65% are male, it means if there were 100 runners in total, 65 of them would be male, so your fraction would be 65/100.
However, you can simplify this fraction as both 65 and 100 have common factors. So you keep dividing both numbers by its factors until there are no more common factors left. This will leave you with 13/20.
Therefore your final answer is 13/20.
