If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
The car would be able to travel 544 miles because 32 mpg multiplied by the 17 gallons the car is capable of having is 544 miles
I need to find the length of something when I am given the volume, width, and height.
v=lwh
l = v/wh
Hope this helps!
The answer is 3.48 < (with the line under) x
We are given the following information:
<em />
<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>
<em>there are 6 boxes</em>
Because each box is
, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is
, or
.
In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):
48 / 3 = 16
Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.
