140 is 70% of 200

Change the percentage (70) into a decimal by dividing over 100:

70 / 100 = 0.7

Divide:

140 / 0.7 = 200

Jessica Reads a story about a turtle that swam 16 feet in 24 seconds. She assumes that the time that it takes the turtle to swim

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Time (secs) => distance (ft)

1 => ⅔

15 => 10

24 => 16

45 => 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent this proportional relationship is $d = tk$ , where,

t = time

d = distance

k = constant of proportionality

To complete the table, let's find k given that the turtles swarm 16 ft (d) in 24 secs (t).

Substitute d = 16, t = 24 into the equation.

$d = tk$

$16 = 24k$

$\frac{16}{24} = k$ (division property of equality)

$\frac{2}{3} = k$

Let's complete the table by substituting the value of k and the other given value of t or d, as the case may be:

For 1 sec, let's find distance (d):

$d = tk$

$d = 1*\frac{2}{3}$

d = ⅔ ft

For 10 ft, let's find the time (t) taken:

$d = tk$

$10 = t*\frac{2}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3

$10*3 = t*\frac{2}{3}*3$

$30 = t*2$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{30}{2} = \frac{t*2}{2}$

$15 = t$

t = 15 secs

For 45 secs, let's find distance (d):

$d = tk$

$d = 45*\frac{2}{3} = 15*2$

d = 30 ft

40% of x is 35. What is the equation to find x

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

.40 x = 35 equation

x = 87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Of means multiply and is means equals

40% * x = 35

Change percent to decimal form

.40 x = 35

Divide each side by .40

.40x/.40 = 35/.40

x = 35/.40

x =87.5
